Edelbrock 1405 is a 600 CFM carb. I run a Carter AFB 9625 which is the same thing on my 350 V8 in a '71 GMC Jimmy 4x4.
The 1404 is the 500 CFM Edelbrock clone of the Carter AFB, and I run one on my 292 L6 in my '68 C/10 Stepside.
I run no regulators. Had one on the 350, as advised by the many ''experts'' on this forum, and when I needed a pro mechanic to sort out passing AZ emissions, he looked at it and said "Lose this thing... You don't need it."
