Just replaced the timing chain , cam , had heads redone , lifters , distributor , plugs , wires ,fuel pump , and a brand new edelbrock 1406 carb on my 1972 C-10. Adjusted the timing and it fired right up ! Then I went to drive it and it kept bogging down at acceleration and sputtered and wouldn’t shift right ! I went over everything so many times I was getting pissed that I didn’t do something right ! I was ready to give up ! Then I thought it can only be the carburetor. I took it off and took it back where I bought it and they gave me a new one . Installed it and it runs great ! Perfect ! So keep in mind that sometimes you just might be the lucky one who buys a defective carburetor new out of the box ! 🤷♂️ ps. I thought I lost my touch ! 😂
Fernando i have a 76 c-10 i really need help installing fuel lines but i cant find any help online do u have any tips ?
I actually just picked this carb up last month and installed it on my 83 cutlass. It seem to wake that monster from a deep sleep, lol. Love their carbs
Thank you for sharing this information. I just purchased this carb for my 1984 Hurst Olds.
Works great on a 1972 Olds 455
Great video. Looks like a great choice for a daily driver.
i have a bypass 12-887 pressure regulator do you have to hook up the vacuum port line ..i didnt hook mine up i just converted tbi to carb i just put brandnew edelbrock 1406 carb on it and its backfiring popping out my exhaust..i got the pressure set at 6psi
Is this carb for a 1971 ford 302? Been thinking about getting the av2 650cfm but then did my research and discovered it too big now I’m considering this 600cfm . Still too big or can make it work ?
Is this carburetor compatible with stock air cleaner housings? I'd like to retain the stock air filter.
Anyone have a part number or link for rebuild kit? Will 1477 kit work for this model? Thanks in advance
Thanks Carter.
You bet!😀😂😂
I need help to set back to factory specs on my 1406 can anyone help?
good presentation... I bought a Summitt 600cfm , POS .. out box crap... never ran right.. getting a new Edelbrock .!!
Hi Terry! We are sorry to hear this. Did you call customer service?
Just bought this for my V8 73" CJ5 Jeep
I have a sbc 350 with an edelbrock 1406. Where would I hookup my distributor vacuum hose? Distributor is a regular Nothing fancy
Hi Julio, check out the instructions guides and charts here: www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-1406/media/instructions
Just bought this and I have a Holly terminator efi system sick of the technology it's destroying my 350 a carb will never let u down
Question: (asking for a buddy) What if you bought a 600 CFM Edelbrock #1406 and needed a #1403, 500 CFM but didn't want to buy new carburetor?
The 9.5 to 1 compression, 302 motor is running really rich now. The stock 600 CFM primary Jets are .098" and the secondary are .095". Rec gas is always used and the fuel pump is mechanical.
According to Edelbrock, one jet size equals 3-1/2 % fuel air change. I was going to recommend dropping the jets 4 sizes (15%) on both primary and secondary. Yes that's a big change but it needs a big change. When I drove the car it was loading up and backfiring in the muffler at 0-50 mph. It's so rich at idle it chokes you and the idle Jets don't do much.
Thanks for any experienced replies. 2003
I did this, the booster sits a different heights between the 500 and the 600. It will mostly work but your idle and part throttle will be very wonky and inconsistent.
I've got a buddy with a 1406 on his 305 SBC could that be too big of a carb for it and thats why it falls on its face when you lean into it?
Adjust accelerator pump
More fuel
600 cfm might be a little big for a 305 if its stock. I would look into tuning the carburetor first and if that doesn’t work then a 500cfm might be a better choice EDL-1403
Had to get a 650 for my 350 9.5 compression. Then I got a 297/305 cam and had to get a 700, still bogged out at full wide throttle so I went with a 750 dp holley brawler and that kinda solved it. Anyway this is an awsome carb but for like 40$ more you get the 650cfm with mechanical secondaries and annular boosters( the best fuel delivery jets for a carb) love these out of the box tuned carbs, tho I wish the didn't jump from 650 to 800
i have a 350 and the 600 1406 electric keeps dumping too much gas ant solution on that
@@kennyhead9848 fuel pump ?
Bought this for my chevy silvarado 350 now just gotta find an intake manifold for it
I just got a riser plate to make the edelbrock work on the 350
Just got 2 of these for my tunnel ram.
Great choice!
@@SummitRacing i still need linkage, lines gauges and breathers
I have 3 on diff engines but how can I get the aluminum bright again there discolored tried various carb cleaners they dident get the original finish back
have to like it clean
This carburetor is on my 85 Chevy c20’s 350 Chevy
Have one on mine Chevrolet Caprice Classic 1976, chevy 400👍😁
75 Mc here
I had one of those that came with a truck I bought. I must have gotten a bad one because that POS never ran totally right, and I spent hours trying to make that thing run right. And I'm pretty good with carburetors. Replaced it with a summit 600 cfm carb 6 years ago and its been great ever since.
Then you clearly did not adjust everything right. These things run like an absolute dream when tuned right
@@EitriBrokkr I adjusted that thing by the book and tweaked the adjustments as you would in the typical fashion to accommodate altitude and engine changes. Thing was a POS no matter what. I have a early 70's Holley 4548 450 CFM 4 barrel I rebuilt and modified to my
liking and it runs all over that Edelbrock. That Edelbrock 1406 never could get the choke pull off adjustment set right to the engine's liking, you can only bend the rod so much and have the choke flat still close fully. Stumbled when you took a left hand turn every time, float levels weren't too low either. Gas tanks are spotlessly clean so not a contaminated fuel issue. Fuel pressure was set to 5 PSI with a regulator. One side of the engine ran richer than the other due to the primary drivers side jet being countersunk deeper than the other primary jet. One of the power pistons seemed to hang up occasionally on a rough edge in the bore left from sloppy machining. Yeah, this one wasn't ever going to "run like a dream" no matter how much you tried.
@@MattsRageFitGarage so you had problems with a single used carb of unknown origin and you are going to use that as an example of why they suck? The edelbrock 1406 is a modern replica of a carter 9000 AFB. They go all the way back to 1957. Every single American car manufacturer used AFB's on everything from corvettes to the hemi's. Either you were too dumb to get it tuned correctly, Or you were too dumb (and cheap) to recognize you bought a used, probably messed up, POS and replace it. You entire story is completely irrelevant to the functionality of this design. Then again you go out of your way to own 80's ford trucks so I'm sure its a waste of my time discussing the finer points of carburator design with someone of that cognitive function.
@@EitriBrokkr Well, you are quite the asshole now aren't you? I bought the truck with the carburetor installed. 3 months old and less than 1000 miles. Even had the receipt and the box. As far as owning 80's ford trucks this is the only truck I have ever owned, it cost me $900 10 years ago out of a grocery store parking lot and it does everything I want it to. It hauls stuff that needs hauled. It's paid for, and the insurance is dirt cheap. It's really not my favorite truck in the world but I can't find anything better for what I have into it to replace it with. I have worked on a lot of carburetors, several of AFB's, and really not a fan of them. Most worked better than the one I wound up with which was probably a lemon. I am done trying to explain myself to you. You are just like my deceased mom, in one ear and out the other and will argue to the death over something so stupid. Please, stop harassing me over an overpriced carburetor that's not even made by Edelbrock. I am WELL aware of their history and design. I have enough shit to deal with.
Traded a case of beer for one of them bad bois ahaaaa
Good demonstration but Holley carburetors is way to go I've done a couple before.
Malik ElcoSS454 surprisingly this is actually a Weber carb that was bought by Edelbrock so technically it’s a Weber. Kinda cool.
Why? Can you elaborate?
@@Randemoller by weber you mean carter, but sure
Then you've clearly never tuned a edelbrock up correctly. The are an absolute dream when done up right
Now just to be clear holley did put out some junk
