Edelbrock Carb Rebuild Step by Step

[@DennisTM1]

Thank you for helping people without putting up 500 commercials to make money, some other jerk has more commercial time on his video than content just about. I hope your views go through the roof.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

I can’t control some of them. YT is gonna make their money. I can add in some slots and yeah it would cover more of my expenses but I think most people resent all the commercials. It’s more important to get the information out. I’m glad you appreciate that.

Good deal! We all learn every day we work on our stuff! Best part about being a car guy. It’s always something new. Appreciate it!

[@noampitlik2332]

I didn't know that Edelbrock used a chem film or the like on the body or airhorn. I think the newest ones have ptfe on the shafts, though. I do recall when I used to refurbished Carter AFB and AVS models that they were bare alloy. We would use a Foredom or dremel with wire cups all the time. Nylon, too. The real problem was residual from fuel additives and of course oxidation on the exterior. And diesel fuel soaking was the norm before the rebuild. This is a great video. Thanks.

[@mattr2442]

Great video. I'll be attempting to rebuild my first carb next weekend and this is just what I needed. Thanks.

I’ve used both brands edelbrock and walker carb kit , when you buy a walker you have to get the right one for your car say it’s a 1406 electric choke it’s has only the gaskets for that one the edelbrock style some general kits will fit other Carter carbs , edelbrock carb kits are made by walker but are more specific to edelbrock. Kit price’s are close in cost walkers are about 10 bucks less so it depends on what you need but please people don’t buy those Amazon cheap kits they are junk never bought one but some friends tryed to have me rebuild a carb with that junk and I said no don’t waste my time , your videos are such a great help

[@shaneisbell1990]

Soooo. I love the info in your videos!!!! I just bought a 62 nova that has a built 350 0.40 over in it with a complete edelbrock top end. Aluminum heads, big cam, air gap intake, dual 500 cfm carbs thunder series edelbrock, 9.4:1 compression. The bad thing is the car has sat long enough that the rubber fuel lines had 3 inch long splits in them. Of course the carbs need rebuilt and thanks to this video I think I have it under control. However that is another complication in a way. The car was tuned to run strong at 900 ft above sea level. And I live at 3500 ft above sea and will be driving the car up to 4000 ft at times. So I'm basically starting over with a completely new tune in on this whole set up. I might need some advise from you along the way. Any starting point that I need to consider when rebuilding the carbs for the thinner air at higher elevations would be great. Also I live in Arizona so the heat is also a factor. Thank you for your work on these videos. I really appreciate the resource to reference.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the videos. I have one more for you to check out! 😆 How to tune a carburetor for higher elevation is the title (I think). It will give you some tips on two extremely critical things you’ll be adjusting. Ignition timing and the carburetor tune. Check it out and if you have any questions I’m happy to answer. Good luck with the rebuilds!

[@RoundHeadlightLife]

Thank you for this video. Rebuilding a 1412 and was confused by the pump discharge weight in the rebuild kit, carb only had the ball and spring in when i took it apart. Put it back together with the weight like you suggested and set the floats like you did as well. Thank you!

[@CaptTPT]

It’s what I have. When the 400 chev was dropped in this 1951 Chris-Craft Racing Runabout about 15 years ago this is what they used. It’s what I just inherited when I bought the boat recently. Just finished rebuilding it after watching your video. Question is what to do different with it now?

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Ultimately the decision is yours but if it were my boat, I’d have a CG approved carburetor and fuel system. Here’s why. If you ever get into a situation where you break down on the water, have a fuel or oil spill, or worse yet the boat sinks and they do any investigation and find non approved equipment on those systems that can negatively affect water quality, they’ll hit you with fines that are more than whatever the boat is worth. I know a bunch of folks use street equipment on boats and get away with it but it’s a roll of the dice that I wouldn’t be willing to take. Look into what the regulations are where you plan on using it locally and coast guard laws and you’ll find the information you will need to know.

[@CaptTPT]

Yes I am aware of what you are referring to. However, I do not believe there are any CG rules related to modification of antique boats like this. I will review this question on the antique boat forums to see what is known about this issue. What I have done so far is to completely rebuild the fuel delivery system to standards better than required by CG on any boat. Back to my question. What needs to be done to make this carb work if I choose to use it? When I look at a marine Edelbrock like the 1409, I don’t see much difference. What am I missing?

[@CaptTPT]

Sorry. 1410

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@@CaptTPT Theres plenty of difference. no vacuum ports on the marine carb. Port that’s required for fuel vent to go back to the engine in case of flooding. Corrosion resistant finish.

[@DonovanAP]

Guess I'm going to try it. No idea what im doing lol. I'm told the popping sound during acceleration is a jet issue or too rich or too lean mixture. Can adjustments be made before I dive into a rebuild?

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Yes you can alter the rod/jet sizes as the tuning chart lays them out for your part number carburetor. Just follow the steps in how to read that in my video that addresses it and you’ll do just fine. It’s not complicated at all.

[@jasondingram5991]

I watched your video yesterday and made some change to my 1406. I had a dead spot at take off under load. I installed.395 jets and 70-37 metering rods. I have a slightly built 289. Now when I crank the engine, fuel spews up through the metering rods. What causes this?

When I set my float bowls I made sure to have the 1/2” space under the full length of the bowl parallel to the top plate. The edelbrock manual details it this way and in the time up guide it measures the leading edge just like you did in your video. Should I be concerned with the way I set my floats?

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

The correct way is like I showed. What advantage do you think you’re achieving with he float parallel to the airhorn?

[@70GalaxieMan]

@@MuscleCarSolutions thanks. I was not looking for any type of advantage. Im used to mechanical things in general especially floats being level, flat, plumb, equidistant etc. when you look at the float lines that the fuel leaves on the outside of the bowls it’s definitely not flat or level to the carb. Anyway, going to make some final adjustments and re-install. Thanks for the quick feedback.

[@salmineo3931]

I mixed up the metering jets and very hard to tell which is which. Primaries are larger?

[@chucksgarage7165]

All the internal screws are torx and all the external screws are flathead. The external screw that holds on the manual choke bracket is a little longer than the rest. Spraying the paper gaskets with WD40 helps them to come off easier next time you rebuild it.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Only on carbs made in 2001 and earlier on the hardware. The airhorn assembly hardware is all the same length. Assuming that’s what you meant with the manual choke cable bracket. The WD40 thing is a great tip. Though I rarely remember to use it on assembly. More so on the holleys where you see that benefit. Thankfully most kits have the non stick gaskets.

Can you please explain why gas with ethanol would require a 1/2" float adjustment vs 7/16? I'm in CA with 10% ethanol. Also any other considerations for a 1906 AVS2?

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Easy. Ethanol boils at 175 degrees or so at sea level. The boiling point does go up the higher you get in elevation, but is still relatively low. Carrying less fuel means there’s less to boil over into the engine and causing a flooding condition. Hard starting, etc.

Watch my video “The Ultimate Edelbrock Carburetor Tuning Guide”. It will show you how to set up a fuel system.

I put on the new Edelbrock 1906 or 9 carb.

[@mikeuva2273]

Nice video but you forgot to set float drop and i would of checked the 1.3 centimeter adjustment for opening rear throttle plates

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Nothing forgotten. Drop has little relevance. Made a video on that topic as well.

[@peterwilliams1761]

Why would I be getting excessive gas flowing out of my jets

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Don’t know. Jets feed the boosters. Is that where you’re visually seeing fuel? Or you’re just running rich and trying to correct it?

[@martinlager]

wow when i pulled the squirter off there was no spring or ball

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@@martinlager that’s not good! Glad you found that issue and can make corrections.

[@waynesimcox7891]

[@conover1978]

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Literally every one of my holley buddies can ear tune a holley. But they all bring their small equipment to me to get tuned in. Guess that's above their pay grade. So to speak. 😂
