Edelbrock 1406 Electric Choke 600 CFM, 4-Barrel Performer Series Carburetor Overview

[CarManiac]

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

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 ! 😂

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

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

I have a sbc 350 with an edelbrock 1406. Where would I hookup my distributor vacuum hose? Distributor is a regular Nothing fancy

[khymical]

Bought this for my chevy silvarado 350 now just gotta find an intake manifold for it

[americanmayhem]

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?

[prestonr]

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

[Texasmule]

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
