Should this have some plumbing coming out the bottom like newer Edelbrocks or should it be this way? It came off this way. Thanks pete oops. Cant add pics from my cell? Will upload soon. Basically no piping coming out from bottom holes.

So this is not good I assume. Maybe one tube out of large hole called acceleration tube? Neither had one??

see if you can find a "parts" edelbrock 1405 and use the secondary clusters out of it. Wow, thanks for the tip. I did not know they were interchangeable. I have a 750 performer on my car now. I wonder if that would work?

I was told by the seller of my rebuild kit that some AFB secondary venturis did not have down tubes. Has anyone else seen this? Very possible, I'd try the carb first before swapping parts about. Carter made several hundred different AFB's for OEM applications over time.

i don't know how they could draw fuel out of the well without a tube. . Tube is mostly for emulsion since it has holes in the sides, the vacuum from the booster venturi would have no problem sucking the fuel up from the well.

The tube is the hole in the casting. The brass tubes you think are siphoning fuel are not there for that purpose. They are there to mix air with the fuel (emulsion). To use your Coke analogy it's like sipping Coke with a hole in your straw.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I forget, it has been almost 30 years since I fooled with an old AFB, I run the E brock version these days. Someone with the FSM for your year/model might be able to look at the carb section and answer.

I wonder if that would work? I wouldn't , you'll be potentially transferring the reason that particular carb is a POS to the replacement carb.
