Seems to work ok. I think the choke function is not as effective but I probably won't be driving much in weather below 32F so probably not an issue.
Started with 0.55, then 0.70, now .063...

BDS use to only make junk blowers, I wonder about them now  Littlefields were a lot better 20 years ago  I wanted to build a Bonniville car years back but SCTA and BNI eliminated the class I wanted to run it in before I could finish the car

My question is why ?
All that work and time on the 1407/1411 for what gains honestly - Subject has been beat to death on every Mopar site on the web
And the reasons have been stated over and over and over
So many better options
The Edelbrock AVS 2 is one hundred times better in every aspect right out of the box

I'd be interested to see what the air bleed changes are worth. I raced my car 8 years with a pair if 1407s. There was definitely an issue leaving off the foot brake even at 3000 rpm. Getting ready to run these carbs on my sons racecar. I've opened up the secondary well feeds. Tried heavy/light air doors. Various squirters. Raised the float levels. Run the idle fat. Never messed with the idle restrictions or bleeds. Never messed with the transfer slot location. At times we ran quick. But not near as consistent as the Holley's.
Doug First time I heard you say anything negative about those 1407s

This time I am using a 1406 it does not have the off idle lean spot. In the past the I made the 1407 work "ok" by making a really crude modification to the transfer slot using a jigsaw blade... but it was never really right.
