Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor

This carburetor is not very popular among hot-rod enthusiasts because of its limited accelerator pump output. In addition to this, the Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor allows the changing of jet sizes with ease. This is a four barrel carburetor with an electric choke and is part of Edelbrock's Performance Series.
These carburetors have basically been designed to offer the best performance for all driving purposes. They can adapt well to the changes in driving styles and ensure that the fuel is flowing efficiently as per the engine's requirement.
Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor: Specifications and Performance
The Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor is an upgraded model which is quite similar to the previous models but there a few key differences which need to be considered. There have several changes made to its design and specifications in order to improve its performance.
The Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor has been designed primarily to offer better fuel economy which is why its street performance has been reduced. However, it still has the potential to support everyday driving while efficiently delivering performance when required.
One of the biggest advantages of using this carburetor is that it does not get affected in case the engine backfires. This is because it does not make use of power valves which tend to get blown when something like this happens.
The use of metering rods has been made in order to support the transitions between circuits. The rods can be removed and replaced easily without having to remove the carburetor itself and therefore, no fuel has to be drained out.
There is also no need to regularly tune the Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor which helps in maintaining consistency in performance. The body is made from light-weight aluminum which means that it is durable, rust-proof and does not warp. Another major advantage of using the Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor is its compatibility with blended fuels.
Edelbrock designs its carburetors to make installation and usage as easy and convenient as possible. Because any variations in temperature can have an effect on the carburetor's performance, it is advisable to tune the Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor before installation.
However, there is no need to disassemble the unit for this purpose. In fact, tuning the Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor is relatively easier and more straightforward as compared to other brands and models.
