I much prefer the Quadrajet but it hard to argue with the simplicity of an Edelbrock. Easy to tweak and fun to mess with. Nice job on the video.

[@LSxHunter]

Thanks! I'll dink with a Qjet here soon. Wanting to figure out how to convert one to e85.

[@r.joseph8911]

I know there are MANY who love the Q-jet. I don’t have an incredible amount of experience with them, but I would imagine you guys mean the non-emission style. I recently messed with an E4ME and it was a NIGHTMARE lol

[@superduty4556]

​@@r.joseph8911yeah, those don't count.

[@keaganweis5569]

Thank you! Picked up a 75 Camaro and this is my first time dealing with carburetors. Excited to learn more; great video!

[@ix_d3monzz_xi135]

simple and straight to the point . thank you greatly

[@LSxHunter]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@steveivanov7291]

Awesome video!! Thanks for posting. Was able to rebuild my carb very easily due to your video.

[@LSxHunter]

Glad it helped!

[@r.joseph8911]

Hey- can you share details on the DIY hot tank, i.e. heater setup, etc.?

[@kevinwestmoreland2099]

You can use an older crock pot that still works to heat the solution.

[@ryanwiederstein702]

My rebuild kit came with the acc. pump cup and a seal and a washer etc. How does one take the original acc. pump apart so I can put the new cup on?

Where does that tiny clip go at 0:56 nest to the screw driver??

[@bnorby213]

I don’t see y people even mess with putting new floats in and adjusting them. Old ones are good!

[@reneprovencher8395]

I ordered a jet kit for my 1405 carb. I couldn’t read the stripped out old jets or the needles. So I ordered a kit. Jets say 385, 401, and 308. The needles say 7347, 7937, and 7342. Then an assortment of springs. HELP. What goes where. Never had to rebuild a 1405 before and I have forgotten how. 74 and forgetting things.

[@d.m.2377]

Did you locate the info needed? I'm doing a 1406 and am on the learning curve also, but I've figured out some of the basics.

[@frostyflake1128.]

My carb has(I think) torx bit screws. Any internal difference?

[@Topstreet808]

Great video 👍🏼

[@kingcobra9485]

i have a 1407... will this process work for it? thanks.

[@baldo5097]

Asome video boss

[@timfarrell2211]

Great video. But why would you not clean the top and every mechanical part on the carb? A true rebuild is making it look new. Even the chock cover was left dirty.

[@SpeakerKevin]

Nice.

[@johnhooten4848]

Why didn't you show replacement of the fuel screen on the carb?

[@matth9207]

what tap size did you use for the drilled out jet? Please help. Thanks

[@matth9207]

5/16 - 24?

[@mrgears]

Will the 1406 / 1405 rebuild kit work for a 1407 carb?

[@honeybadger-pg2nb]

so,you are tidy on disassembly....we got that in common😉😂

[@LSxHunter]

😂 I did this in my living room - still smells like gasoline. But at least I had a small table to work on 😂😂

[@r.joseph8911]

@@LSxHunter 😂

[@oliviatrimble335]

How long and what did you put in your hot tank solution?

[@LSxHunter]

Little late BUT I let mine sit for about 4 hours - my carb wasn't overly dirty.

[@BoostDreamer]

What did you use to clean the carb?

[@LSxHunter]

SuperClean! Also ran some diesel over a few things.

[@BoostDreamer]

Thanks I’ll have to try it too

[@75Bird455]

Step 1, remove carburetor. Step 2, throw it in the trash! Step 3, install properly calibrated Quadrajet. Having said that, I enjoy your videos - along with this one.

[@LSxHunter]

😂 I figured there was a reason why people were looking them up - turns out they're just limited in almost every way. Thanks for hanging out!

[@jordanwiley4582]

Did that on my FE 390 in my truck. runs like a top.

[@bennylozano7485]

Where's the link to the kit
