So I picked up my carb from the shop today. It looks nice and shiny! It's an Edelbrock 600CFM. Part number is 1400.
The mechanic made a suggestion that I run a fuel pressure regulator. I though this was odd since I have a mechanical fuel pump, and the pressure shouldn't be too high. He said that these carbs are notorious for running poorly even with a slightly higher pressure than nominal.
I took his advice, considering when I move the tank to under the bed I will upgrade to an electric fuel pump and will definitely need the regulator then. I also went ahead and bought a cheap fuel gauge to see what pressure it is running.
Hopefully I can get the carb on and tinker some this weekend.
Yall have a good day!
