Just the type of information I need to start on my rebuild. Thanks. I had an extra screw inside holding the air horn and did not realize it, until a friend showed me. Otherwise, I could have damaged the body.

Never seen a carb with that much soot!

i got 1990 k5 blazer 5.7 had it rebuild with a few up grades everything is pretty mush stock i up graded the cam to a howard cam rattler lift 225/230 duration 0.50/227/235 centerline 03 i still have the factory swirl port heads i got headers 3' pipes all the way back i up graded my torque converter to 2000 to 2400 stall and 4:10 gears i just put my engine in about a week ago it was a tbi so i converted it to carb...im having problem trying to get it to run right i put a brandnew edelbrock carb 1406 on it..i got 12-887 holley regulator set it to 6 psi i got it to run starts up good but its backfiring and popping out my exhaust ..i have a vacuum port on my regulator but did not hook it up dont no if thats the problem or not..or is the carb to small for my set up...you can smell the burning and the raw gas in park when u accelerate and give it more gas it sound good but at idling its popping and backfiring like someome popping fire crackers..tell me what you think

Depending on what intake manifold you are running you may need a carb plate (a metal plate that goes between the carb and intake with a gasket on each side) They can developer a vacuum leak on each side of the carb if you are using a performer type intake and it will effect idle and start up as well as acceleration.
