Edelbrock 1405

As I had the carb of to make a throttle valve bracket I decided to check it out.
The carburetor was purchased new several years ago, but the car has really only done a RR session with it.

Geez! host of problems found.  
-Floats not set at the correct height
-Sand in the fuel bowls
-Primary and secondary throttle discs not correctly aligned.
-Primary and secondary throttle discs not being able to open fully
-Choke valve not being able to open fully

Glad I found this before bolting it back.

Moral: Always check your new carb before installing

Cheers,

Frederick
