I cleaned up and replaced the carburetor on a 1971 chevy truck. I changed it from a Carter AFB to a Edelbrock 1406. The carburetor was bench tested and didn't need much additional adjusting. It was a good price and quality carburetor. I will say give yourself some time when you buy one because they rebuild them as you order them. It takes a couple weeks to get it.

The carburetor is not a "drop in" replacement for my vehicle ( 1970 Mustang, stock 302) but anyone who's restored or worked on classic cars is used to modifications and a little "tweaking" at times. I had to purchase a Mr Gasket universal throttle cable kit from Advance Auto and a 1" spacer. There isn't a kick-down linkage for my transmission so I had to remove it but with the console shift I can downshift manually. The one thing to check is the fast idle. It was maxed out and when I started the engine it took off at about 5 grand. Not good on a cold start. Otherwise, purrs like a kitten.

Worked great on my t- bucket. Runs better and took the hesitation out on acceleration. Well pleased with it. I like these carburetors. Easy to install and adjust.holleys are good but I have always liked these better. Easy to rebuild .

After the carburetor arrived I did not use it. I returned it. The reason I returned it is that I would have had to change both my gas line and the transmission linkage.I really did not want to do that. Had the Edelbrock came with those modifications it would have been a greater carburetor.Therefore, I had my Rochester rebuilt and reinstalled.

Installed carb dry and then just cranked engine till float bowl filled. It started idling cold just fine with no adjustment whatsoever. I am pleased with my purchase. If you keep factory intake you must cut egr valve to clear secondary linkage. See my pic. I can not remove egr in my state for emission inspection reasons
