RE: brand of carburetor preferences

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds like they may still not be opening all the way.  Also what color
are your plugs when you pull them?  If they are a light grey in color it is
adjusted pretty close.  If they are black, it's to rich.  If they are almost
white, to lean.  I have never owned a Edelbrock carburetor but have heard
good things about them.  A Holly is a lot more user friendly as far as
adjustment is concerned.  I hate to see you go and purchase another
carburetor and have the same problem.  Also just a personal preference run
as cold of a plug as you can, that is if it is not running to rich as a cold
plug will foul quicker but will give more performance!

It was a brand new carburetor, model 1406 (street economy). They did do some
Rejetting I know after talking to people at Edelbrock. I live by Denver and
The Edelbrock guys said that this particular carburetor shouldn't need to
Have anything done to it. I also know they are at least opening some because
When I got it back they weren't opening at all due to the fact they were
Hitting a spacer plate they added to try to minimize the heat issue from the
Engine causing the car to hesitate bad (they added a elec. Fuel pump that
Cleared that up). So, after an adjustment in the plate, the secondary does
Open up. It feels like it isn't getting enough air would be the best
Description I can think of to give.

Vacuum or manual secondary's?  Have you checked to see if they are opening
All the way or at all, on the Edelbrock?  Have you tried rejeting the carb?
