Cheap Edelbrock Carburetor Rebuild Kit - Did We Find the Right One?

[@nathanstpierre233]

Also worth noting is the instructions usually are available on the Edelbrock site, so you can save a couple bucks with the Walker kit and download the instructions from Edelbrock. Thanks for the video and sharing the info. I never knew Walker made these for Edelbrock.

yup id use this kit thanks for showing it!

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

It’ll get the job done!

I recently had an interesting issue with a rebuild kit. Everything looked great with one problem. The threads on the new needle seats were wrong and they would not screw into the air horn. After some head scratching, I decided to reuse the old seats with the new needles. I have not tested the carburetor yet and I was curious as to your thoughts on the use of old seats. Thanks for all your hard work and great information you pass on!

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

I wouldn’t have any issue with it. You’ll know if you have an issue when you do get around to using it. FYI, Edelbrock is very good about sending out those service repair parts to you for issues like this. Just use the form on their contact us page and you’ll get an email response from them. Might as well get a set coming in case it becomes an issue down the road.

Very professional video keep them coming

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Thank you John. Very much appreciate you stopping by.

Great video, thank you for making this.

I know it's typically not an issue with a newer carb especially an Edelbrock but I wish more rebuild kits would include a complete accelerator pump assembly, the big reason is typically when working on old carbs especially ones that are 30+ years old the plastic fingers that hold the pump cup on get very very brittle and will break when you either remove the old cup or try to install the new one. I have had a lot of issues with the Rochester quadrajet accelerator pump assemblies breaking and the whole cup assembly fall apart just due to age, some places include the whole assembly with their standard kit but none of the walker kits come with it, you have to buy it separately.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Then it would be a “repair” kit, not a “rebuild” kit. Cost cutting to keep the retail price down is usually the consideration. If they included everything that could be replaced on a carburetor, they would run much much higher and anything that scares off a retail consumer is an issue for a manufacturer.

[@briang4470]

@@MuscleCarSolutions I have actually bought "rebuild kits" from other companies that would include a complete accelerator pump, theres a small company called "quadrajetpower" online that sells quadrajet "rebuild kits" for only $40 and they include an extra thick airhorn gasket and a complete accelerator pump assembly with all their kits. Alot of the "standard" brand kits I have seen come with the accelerator pump assembly as well and their kits were pretty much around the same price as the walker kits.

Another great video !!!

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Thank you sir!

[@whirlwindjml]

So it looks like the walker kit does not come with the spring option to replace the weight in the accelerator pump circuit? ( For up grading for off-road use)

[@MrSHAUNE55]

Thanks for the video, just a quick question. I'm rebuilding a 1407 and watched plenty of videos, on the underside of the top of the carb where the accelerator pump shaft fits through,, should there be a seal fitted into the recessed circle? I.E when you flip the top upside down, the hole where the shaft of the pump goes. There wasn't one when I dismantled it and non in the kit, there is a star washer in the kit, all but one of the videos I've watched don't show a seal, you mentioned something in this video about it only being for marine applications. Thanks.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

That is correct. You don’t need to use one on the street carbs. They are a requirement for the marine carburetor as dictated by the coast guard.

[@MrSHAUNE55]

@@MuscleCarSolutions Thanks for the very quick reply, that's great to hear, I've been scratching my head and been all over the internet looking! I'm just watching another of your videos on non Edelbrock kits from about a year ago. Carb is fitted to a 1969 Camaro SS in the UK.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Very cool! I’m looking forward to my next trip to your country in 2024. Always enjoy the slightly different classic car scene there. Cheers!

[@guillermocastillo3833]

Hi, was looking for advice on a good solution/method for cleaning carbs? I'm in CA and it doesn't look like the Berryman's professional is available here. I see a lot of people using Pinesol. Any recommendations are appreciated!

[@CodyNelson-nightmoves]

What is the Walker part number for that exact kit that's in the video? I use the Carter mixed one a while back and had to pick out what the gaskets I needed. I like to know what the exact kit is from that video. Please and thank you

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@@CodyNelson-nightmoves linked in the description. All the Carter kits are generally for several different carburetors and yeah you’ll always have to pick out the gasket as you’ll use. The Edelbrock kit isn’t any different. There’s a couple options in the kit that are only used on marine carbs. All good!

[@CodyNelson-nightmoves]

@MuscleCarSolutions you're so smart I'm binge-watching all your videos right now. Trying to get my AVS2 dialed in. So much knowledge. Thanks buddy

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@ you’ll pick up on it quick. Won’t take you long and you’ll be the expert! I recently did a set up video of the things to do before you start tuning. Those things will help make tuning very simple. Let me know if you run into any questions! Good luck!

[@pacbrian3809]

amazon has that kit for 35.28!

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Cyber Monday sale? Ya better buy one while they last! 😆 I literally took that screen shot of the price last week.

[@and96638]

Rockauto has the Walker kit for $20.79 +$4 shipping. Not sure if it's a Cyber Monday special price or not.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@@and96638 rock auto is the Dollar General of auto parts. 😆

[@yobingbongyah4676]

which videos of yours do you suggest for a 1406 rebuild

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Not sure what you’re looking for but this is a full rebuild video. Or you can search my Edelbrock Tech playlist. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKmbnmCZidl3qLc

[@VinoRatRodbuilds]

I would want to stick with the Edelbrock myself.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

I think I would too, but because Walker does make the Edelbrock kits, in this instance I’d be completely comfortable using either.

[@CCAutoWorks]

I've learned my lesson

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

No doubt! I think we've all been there at some point.

[@MeLoNHeAd00]

Cheap and dissatisfied go hand in hand !.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

It sure can!
