Hi, I just bought an Edelbrock 1405 (600cfm) for my '66 302 with stock intake. Old carb is ford 4300
I have a few questions :
1. Choke : Is it possible to install/fabricate a manual choke ?
2. Accelerator linkage : The installationmanual mentions a special ford linkage and a special plate. Is this really necessary, it seems to me that the acceleratorrod connects to the carb as is.
3. Are there any other problems I might encounter
Does anyone have any experience with this change-over?
Thx

I hope not to get too much experience on this one. I'm working with a timelimit this time. It needs to be ready and reliable by next week.

I installed a 1406 with electric choke this winter so I'll answer to my experience,
1. No idea I bought an electric choke
2. The special kit is not needed for at least a 65 or 66 unless you have a newer transmission with a shift down cable.The accelerator rod will connect directly to the included carb linkage.
3. I had no problems with my install other than getting some dirt in the idle needles, which caused the carb to flood out.
The carb comes with good instructions and a great DVD to help with the install and any trouble shooting.
Good Luck

The 1405 only has a manual choke. I have to hook it by next week, so I don't have the time to order an electric choke. So for now I'll trie to install a wire to operate the manual choke.
I was just wondering if anyone has done this fora '66, no need te invent things twice.
