Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb
Turk claims needle & seats are 'the same', post #100. Well have a look at the pics below & see if those floats look 'the same'. One is a Carter 4 bbl float, one is a Holley 4 bbl.
Much to learn from these pics from those who want to learn....
Notice how loooooong the C float is & how close the inlet needle is to the pivot. This creates tremendous leverage that allows high fuel pressure without flooding. Why would C bother to produce a fuel pressure v float level chart that includes 10 psi....if thei carbs cannot work with that pressure??????????????????????? Duh........
Looking at the H float, the stock one is quite short by comparison & will not withstand the pressure that the C float does.
In an attempt to increase fuel delivery by using higher fuel pressure, the Carb Shop made the longer float which..... gives more leverage.
