Help understanding carburetors - metering rods and jets

The 1400 is the "emissions" carburetor and it has a ported and EGR vacuum port on the front (no manifold), though I'm thinking the power brake port on the back could be used for manifold vacuum. It also has a specific fuel vapor connection for the charcoal canister (if you have one). The manuals don't have any tuning changes for the 1400 since Edelbrock looks at it as a carb that shouldn't be altered. I'm not sure if anything else internal is different between the 1400, 1405 and 1406.

The large port on the rear of the carb is not really for power brake connection, but can be used as such. It is really for PCV hookup. Power brake vacuum should be hooked to the large port in the manifold runner(s).
