Definitely think you'll have a wait and see approach after you get your new gaskets. I spent a long time trying to get a 1407 ecarb to function well on my 455 and float changes were some of the most prominent changes to feel that I could make.

I don't know squat about the SD carbs, so I can't comment further than my experience there. Hopefully those changes help you out.

JLMounce, did the Edelbrock eventually work well for you? What type of changes were required?


I'm currently running a Performer RPM. With the 2 gaskets and steel spacer the rear blades open/close fine.
