Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb

You just got the car so do not know the fuel pump. I would be checking that and your parts store for the pressure listed for the factiry replacement fuel pump. It is possible for the floats to be sinking which will be revealed with the cover off. Remove the float from the cover and set it in the full float bowl. About 1/4 to 1/3 should be above the fuel surface at least.
I appreciate the advice. I’ll give that a shot. I have 9605s which is like the 1405 I believe.
