edelbrock 1407
Is a Edelbrock 1407 carb too much for a stock 350 with just headers and true exhaust.

Re: edelbrock 1407
Yes. But it'll run fine if you tune it correctly.

Re: edelbrock 1407
www.edelbrock.com has tuning tips and techniques for their carbs. The 1406 is jetted (.100) for performance (manual choke) while the others in the series have slightly smaller main jets.

Tune tune tune. You do not need a special meter to tune your carb, you just need to know how to read a sparkplug. |
