Damn, you're killing me. First the valve covers the other week, now this carb. You need to hurry up and finish the car so we can all drool over it. Damn nice work you're doing there.
That's great work Wayne. What metering rods and springs did you go with?
It already had .065 x .047 metering rods and .104 jets in it so I just left them. It ran reasonably well before when it looked like crap so it should still run at least as well all cleaned up!

Looks awesome!!
I used 50/50 Eastwood's Translucent Green and Gold to get the bronze look. Edelbrocks are normally silver, but I liked the "carby" colour so went with it.

The reason I ask is because the 1406 was set up to be very lean, as an economy carb. I have a 1406 as well, and I'm thinking about re-building it even just until I swap in the FI motor.

This is a 1407 though - 750cfm. From what I can work out, the metering rods and jets are already a couple of sizes larger than stock, so no economy here!
