Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb
Let's cut through the bullch*t.
- 7miles out:
Do not use an elec pump with a mech pump to stop vapour lock. It won't work...... Neither pump is designed to work with another pump. If you want to avoid vapour lock, use the elec pump by itself.........or else I have been incredibly lucky over the last 50 yrs.
- When Edel started making Carter AFBs, they changed very little. One thing NOT changed was the fuel inlet/delivery system. The parts are interchangeable. The robust design can be used up to 10 psi fuel pressure [ yes, 10 ]. Float level needs to be adjusted for [a] n/s size fuel pressure. The 5.5 psi figure bandied about for Edel carbs is the datum pressure. more pressure will raise fuel level & vice versa. Adjust jetting accordingly.
