Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb

Is there a filter in the carb itself too? The one I changed was an inline filter.
No filter inside those carbs. Just external. "It’s good to know that this carb can be run without a regulator with the stock fuel pump."

Don't be too sure, I have seen new "out of the box" fuel pumps put out 10# of pressure. That is 5# or so too much especially for a Carter/Edelbrock carb. You won't know if it's too much pressure until you test it. It's all part of diagnosis.
