Miss and carb tuning troubleshooting

Have you tuned the carburetor to the engine? And I mean TUNED, not adjusted. BIG difference.

The 1406 is an economy carburetor and is likely too lean for your combo.

Tuned? I don't think I would have gotten a 1406, but it's what the car had when I bought it so I figured I'd try to make the best of it as half the people I have read say it works great for a mild 318 and the other half say it always has issues, like my dad, said throw it in the trash and get a holley, problem solved lol..
