The Edelbrock 1406 Performer Series 600 CFM electric choke carburetor is
a precisely tuned, quality-built carburetor that can handle the rigors
of daily driving while delivering consistent, reliable street
performance from day to day. Several characteristics make the 1406
Performer Series 600 CFM electric choke carburetor an outstanding street
performer. The first one is that metering rods are utilized to
transition between circuits. The carburetor is unaffected by engine
backfires, which means that there are no power valves to blow out, and
the rods can be changed in seconds without carburetor removal or fuel
draining. Secondly, the carburetor has the unique ability to hold a
tune, so once it is tuned, the carburetor stays tuned. What this means
to you is that compared to other carburetors, the performance remains
consistent and the calibration stays unchanged. The lightweight
all-aluminum body features a two-piece body that resists warping and is
compatible with gasohol and blended fuels. The simple tub-type bowls and
rear-pivot floats all contribute to a carburetor thats reliable,
user-friendly and is easily tunable for miles and miles of trouble-free
operation. (CALIBRATED FOR FUEL ECONOMY) Designed for small-block and
small displacement big-block engines, these carbs are recommended only
