Edelbrock 600cfm Carb - $50
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:31 am
Edelbrock #1406 with electric choke.
First things first -- The corner of the base has a crack. Fractured but not broken or even loose. I believe it can be repaired but it actually ran pretty well. Didn't even realize the crack was there until I snugged down the nut on that corner and it began to idle poorly. Loosened the nut back up and it smoothed out. When I told the owner of the car about it he wanted me to replace it with a new carb.
Personally, I'm not a huge AFB fan so I'll probably never use it. If I planned to, I'd probably grind the crack out with a Dremel and fill it with epoxy. You can do as you please. It's a runner but being priced as a parts carb. New replacement cost is $325-ish. Electric choke conversion kits are $60 alone.
$50 firm.
Trades may be considered.
