The voltage regulator has been replaced and it's a small silver unit. I am guessing that it is already the electronic one??

If the underside of it has wire wound resistors then it is the old electromechanical style

I shall investigate further

Soooo, what's that mean?

Are you poo-pooing the idea of spending around $20 or less to tune a carb before throwing down several hundred $$ for a Holley?

Others, see attached for the set of metering rod springs mentioned.......

Your Joking , Correct ???

First Thing , I Never Mentioned Holley

Second Thing , I Could Tune A Edelbrock , Carter AVS All Day / Any Day - I Love The AVS Series Actually , Original And New - I Take The Original Factory Carter Avs,s and pull off the metering rod covers and make my own flat metering rod covers and tune them with the Edelbrock Metering Rods / Springs And Jets (Finding the Carter AVS Strip Kits , Three step metering rods and tall primary jets is next to impossible)


ANYWAYS with that said


The 1407 / 1411 Performer Series Is Nothing More Then A Overpriced Parts Carb - Actually Thats Beeing To Nice , How many beer cans could we make out of a 1407 Carb ??? That would Bee more productive and definetly a wiser choice

Bottom Line - You cant tune a internal design flaw with springs

That series , 1407 / 1411 is the most and WORSE talked about carb on Moparts.com - Probably the world wide web for that matter

For every 1 positive there is like 100 negative posts about those /1407 1411 series

Carry On

well said, The older original Carter carbs were some of the best, the metering was well thought out, The 1407/1411 are Pieces of S, They took a good carb design & screwed it up, I'll take a Holley all day long over those things, I know i said i wouldn't make anymore comments, Oh well .

The question is...
Anybody running an Edelbrock 750 on their big block?
We don't want to talk about holley...
I use Edelbrock 750 on my 451 and really work GOOD

---

Can you tell me some of the things that you have done to it??

I guess "great" is out of the question, so you have to settle for "good", thats why i ran a "Great" carb on my 451

Remove the Choke horn by grinding and you gone have a greater Carb...

This is a higher output model than the earlier ones correct? What would I need to safely upgrade the wiring so that it can handle the added amperage?

Yes higher amps & you have an electronic reg in the pic. Many ways to go w elec upgrades & myself I clean EVERY connection/terminal AND strive to keep the ammeter needle close to 12 o'clock and power added high amp draw accessories right from the alt w relays. #1 clean connections/terminals and keep high flow out of the bulkhead and if not then running 2 wires straight thru the bulkhead on the 2 main in/out lines (fusible link in/wire out to alt)

As an update, I looked at my lower alternator bracket and I don't think that it is correct. It does not have enough adjustment to get the belt as tight as it should be.
