I am going to jet my 1406's just like my 1409. I don't think the lack of vacuum ports on the 1409 is that big a deal on an old Chev.

I can't even get a Quadrajet to outperform my 1409 yet. I'm still working on it because the Quadrajet has a much better automatic choke system.
the right Quadrajet (800cfm) even the 750 will outperform that carb easily, and has electric choke... most stock QJets for a particular vehicle are jetted/rodded pretty close most of the time, unless it's been remanufactured...

keep tuning that QJet , or have a good QJet builder do it...
