Re: Baby blue 1970 GMC LWB resto-mod

Today my throttle got stuck and I almost wrecked my truck. Something is grinding and causing resistance inside the carb and the throttle won't smoothly return to idle. Been having a lot of problems with this junk edelbrock 1406. Sometimes the throttle sticks during cold start for no apparent reason and you have to jab the gas to get it to come back down. It's not the throttle cable or pedal sticking, it's something inside the carb and it needs a good rebuild. I'm gunna get one of those new Street Demon 625 carbs and give it a try. Everyone just raves about how good they are in comparison so I'm going to give it a Shot. They are about $100 more than a new edelbrock.

I'd rather out that money into getting my brakes and spindles installed but this is a safety issue now so it needs to be addressed.
