Avoid this Edelbrock Carburetor Tuning Mistake !!!!

this is probably YOU right now, and you don't even know it!

Working on carbs...is becoming a lost art. To some of us, hes stating the obvious. To others, its really news. Keep up the vids, love the channel.

I have been building carburetors for 40 years..
That was excellent explanation but there's a lot more behind getting your fuel pressure and float set... Metering rods, emulsion tubes, vacuum circuits power valves, Jets, ECT ECT... All of these have to be taken into consideration.. when setting up a Keep up the good work I enjoy listening to your videos.

I am digging your channel, sir. I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, I’m an IT guy, but I own and maintain a 74 Challenger and I’ve always wanted to know more about the workings of the fuel/carburetor and timing, which I am finding here and nicely explained to boot. Keep up the good work, sir.

I wish I'd heard this 5 years ago, it would have saved me a lot of trouble. I'll take the trade off of poor float adjustment on Edelbrocks, in exchange for no power valves, all sealing surfaces above fuel height, and on the fly adjustments for secondary metering.

Thanks you for your great advice. I just put a new Edelbrock carb on my 85 GMC pickup with a stock mechanical pump, and its running rich. so definitely will be starting with a fuel regulator and float height check first.

I just run a Jeep fuel filter with a return line back to the tank, seems to keep the pressure where it needs to be, and they’re cheap! Great video!!

[jefes]

AMEN! Not just for the Edelbrock. All carburetors, imho, should start with proper fuel pressure.

Man I swear you done blew my mind. Still learning as I go but you connected a few dots for me and I greatly appreciate that. Kinda makes me wanna drill a hole in my carburetor add some glass seal it up lol. But the drill bit trick worked well for me resetting my floats. Thanks man.

[prestonrenfro]

Thanks man, appreciate the video. I just picked up and old truck that’s running rich AF with a Carter AFB. Going to go pick up a regulator in the morning.

[InvincibleExtremes]

I personally love edelbrocks. Great for daily drivers.

[porkchop]

Chunking that carb was awesome, man I laughed. Thanks!

[TheWarcha]

I always love the tech tips you provide. Thanks and keep up the great job!

Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration to start filming my work restoring my 1973 Mach 1! It's been a lot of fun so far filming the process.

These are good carbs, easy to adjust out of the box. If you read the paperwork (which mine says no more than 6.5 psi fuel pressure) they also break down how to check floats and change jets/rods. Just pop the top off, the hardest part about it is not losing the linkage clips. This style of carb came on some serious muscle back in the day.

[DWBmotorsports]

Hey man, love your videos. FYI in case I missed it in the video you can actually run an edelbrock with the top plate off the carb. You can also change metering rods with it running as well.

[firehawk]

You are the second Eldebrock video starts by chunking the unit across the room! Hail the sailing carbasauris🤠

My truck came with a basically new Edelbrock 1406 when I bought it. Thing gave me all kinds of fits. After tons of fiddling I got it running really good except that left turn stumble was a deal breaker. That's when I bought the summit carb. Now I run a 450 cfm 4548 Holley 4160 I converted to 4150. That thing runs even better than the summit carb did for my application. I've had a bad taste in my mouth for the Edelbrock performer carbs ever since. I've rebuilt a couple of genuine Carter AFB's for people and those ran great though.

I gotta say it thats the best sharpie cardboard blueprint I've ever seen love the carb parts pop ups lol people would but that diagram lol

Replaced the 2150 2bbl on my LTD with a Edelbrock. THIS is an absolute must on mechanical pumps. Also on mechanical, it's good to have a vapor separator fuel filter with return line; as well as insulating carb spacer. This way you get the most consistent fuel flow without problems in fuel percolation.
