Edelbrock carb hard starting

[chevylookin]

I will double or triple confirm 66Submarine. The Edelbrock carbs like the common 1406 found typically on your Chev 350's will hate a fuel pressure above 6.5 MAX! You need to get that pressure down to like 4.5 or 5 at the most. You will find if you are not running a fuel pressure regulator that after turning the engine off, you can actually smell gas around your engine. (like 5-10 minutes after you turn it off). The fuel will actually seep past the needles and temporarily flood your carb. No big deal if its your last drive at the end of the day and the next morning you go out and start it cold, it fires right up. But if your going to 7-11 or the grocery store to pick up dog food or beer, 20 mins later, the engine is grinding and dying to get started cuz its got too much stinky stuff and not enough breathing stuff. Was an issue on my Blazer for years and I destroyed many a starter and fouled many a plug before I finally put the regulator on. Search for fuel pressure regulator install. Im not sure if there any threads on it. I will look soon.
