I have a wee bit of knowledge of them. Also, They are in “my opinion” more difficult to tuine than a good ol Holley…esp. the Demon versions. Demon carb FTW ---

Its a 1406 Performer. Two people tried to get this thing to run correctly on the old setup, with no success, we are now still having issues with the new setup. Backfiring at idle, etc. Seems like its getting too much fuel. We are thinking about selling it and just going with a demon. BDR… details? ---

From my limited experience on Edelbrock carbs ( I had a 750), they are very difficult to tune if you have a decent cam. They are MILD street carbs, nothing more. Bolt a bone stock Holley, or Demon or variation of a Holley and happy motoring.
