Tuning Edelbrock 1406.....HELP!



Hey Everyone,

I installed the new 1406 last weekend and I am having a high idle issue w/ it (1500 rpm with or w/o chock on). I don't know much of anything about carburators ( I know enough on how they opperate...I just don't know where to start adjusting it).

The only thing I have done was adjust the timing. It was 20+ degrees advanced w/ the old carb; but, is now set at 5 degrees. Is 5 right or should it be 7??? The car is a 70 Imperial LeBaron (440) w/ an automatic of course. I'm really not wanting to mess w/ something I don't know about. So please, whoever has adjusted this carb before please help me out.

I'ld like it idleing better before I take it too the muffler shop to have a muffler and rear pipe installed. Pressently it is running no exaust 3 feet behind the Y pipe due to me blowing it (the muffler) up back in December.


Thanks Alot!! chris graber '70 Imperial LeBaron
