Either rebuild yours yourself for the price of a kit, pay somebody to do it or buy a new carb.
I'm not a fan of the Edelbrock 1405/6's. This is my new favorite carb, and I've had them all:

It has alot of things you can't get for the price and it's very tunable. But most likely you'll pop it on, adjust the idle/air mixture and just cruise. |
I probably wouldn't rebuild it myself as I am 100% sure I'd have more issues then any person would think is possible. On the carb that you recommend what changes will I need to make being that my truck has the manual choke lever inside of the truck? Is this truly just pop it on and make some minor adjustments and I'm good to go? I'm not to savvy and a lot of the issues I've been dealing with to some are easy and to me have been troublesome. Thanks!
