A quadrajet would be best IMO. I have a 1406 I wish I would have never bought it. Should have had the Quad rebuilt.

i highly recomend the edelbrock/carter carb.
easy to tune, well designed & it keeps it's tune. if you can afford a NEW quadrabog get it.can't be beat. the rebuilds can be spotty. get a 625/650 cfm carter edelbrock.you'll be happy. jegs sells carters still for like $190.

1405 or 1406 Edelbrock or Carter. .I believe Edelbrock also makes a 550 CFM... You would be VERY happy with it on your combination.
a Holley 600 would also suffice, But I still personally prefer Edelbrock over Holley. I personally don't like Q-Js.. Last edited by RON WOODGEARD; 04-25-2005 at 11:57 PM. |

The choke on the 1406 eldebroc Sucks Very temp sensitive. It makes the truck run thta about all.
You just cant beat a new Q jet though.

Your going to get alot of opinions on this so here is mine. I put a new Edelbrock 1406 on my 307 about 3 1/2 years ago and haven't touched it yet. Somebody is probably going to tell me its out of adjustment or whatever. All I know is it starts everyday and I get about 14 mpg in my 2wd Blazer. I am sure someone could tune it and get better mileage but I work under the old idea " If it aint broke dont fix it. Bought a rebuilt Quadrajet ( rebuilt by Tomco) about 6 months ago for my sons truck and it already runs like crap. But thats just my experience. If you want mileage change that rear end. I have a 3.08 in my Blazer.

I would say go with a Edelbrock/Carter. My 1406 came outta the box went on the truck and with minor tuning runs like a champ. Whatever you do dont over do it... Your truck will run better with a small carb that is the right size, rather than just putting a huge carb on and tuning it down.

i too liked my 1406 on my 383 but I run strictly Holley's on my high performance engines. However, if I was putting together a healthy driver I'd run a Q-Jet.
