Edlebrock 1405 Carb
Howdy,
Truck has a 1405 carb on it and the fuel seems to be blowing by the nipple. The hose is good and so is the clamp. My guess is the gasket for the nipple is bad. Is this something I can get at Autozone? Or is there some other work around for it? Thanks!

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
I fixed it (I hope). I wrapped it in that white pvc tape used for plumbing. Stopped the leak so far.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
make sure that pvc tape wont react with fuel, if it does you could get another leak or worse a fire while youre driving

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
Sounds like a crush washer is needed.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
Just curious, where would be a good starting point on the idle mixture screws? Thanks.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
EDELBROCK.COM !!! Red (and white) roll is for fuel. Blue (and white) is for water. It's 1 and 1/2 turns on an Edlebrock. I have a 1406.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
Start at 1.5 turns and go from there. If you have never tuned a carb, use a vacuum gauge and tune for highest vacuum. Use your nose too, to make sure it's not too fat at idle.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
No, I have never tuned a carb before. Sadly, I don't have a vacuum gauge either. Last carb I attempted to tune was a Q-Jet on a 305.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
pipe tape is ok. just make sure it dont get dragged off the threads and into the carb. tape it further back on fitting.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
I found an alternative. Found a plastic/rubbery washer to use. Holding so far.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
Since I do have the 1405, I want to install a manual choke cable. Is there anything special I need to do to the carb for it accept the cable? If not, do I need to adjust the fast-idle settings for use with the manual choke?
Thanks.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
Nope. Just set your cable in with minimal movement (use zap ties to keep it from moving around). I actually changed mine to make it shorter and more direct but here is a pic if that helps.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
I know it does! I've spent at least a grand in repairs since I bought my truck.

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
In case you all are stumped, its missing the choke cable clamp, a screw on the top front left, and the choke linkage for the fast idle cam.
Will I need the choke cable clamp in order to use the manual choke cable? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Edlebrock 1405 Carb
You're also missing the linkage rod for the secondary weights. That's what it looks like in the pics any way.
