Edelbrock 1405 problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck has the 1405 Edelbrock and it burns extremley rich. I can not even run the truck in garage unless doors are open. It diesels when you cut it off. And when you go to start you have to put the pedal to the floor to get it started. I have had one about 10 yrs ago that was rich (not this bad) and Edelbrock sent me orange springs to put in the carb. Fuel pressure is just below 7. When the truck is at operating temperature (180) It will idle in Park at 1K. Shut it off and start it right back up and it will idle at 900 until you go for a ride and the idle is back at 1k which seems high?
