I would think the engine is out of time or the spark plug wires are not installed correctly.
Carb is too lean, Common problem with Edelbrock. Buy a primary metering spring kit.
Dude, I had this exact same problem. 350 engine and the Edel 4b carb.
I was looking every where online for answer's and basically it could be anything from lack of fuel to timing to the advance on the carb. I tried everything, then i pulled off the valve covers and noticed one of the rocker arms wasn't moving. i turned the nut in the center one full turn and booooom it ran like a champ!!!!
I bet if u pull the covers that's your problem...
will a 4 barrel edelbrock fit both chevy or ford with 4 barrel manifolds
You will have to look on the carb and get the numbers on it and then go to the Edelbrock website.
i used a holly 500cfm two barrel carb on mine and it worked just as well as a 4 barrel i used a holly 500cfm two barrel carb on mine and it worked just as well as a 4 barrel
As with any engine, timing, and also carb problems.
A bad governor gear or the throttle valve linkage is not adjusted properly.
It should be preset from the factory
I would get an Edelbrock performer 4bbl. intake manifold with a Edelbrock 600 CFM. carb, summit racing has everything you need. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holley 650 double pumper for the win!
Yes. Consult Edelbrock's website for specific details.
running lean can cause your 400ex to backfire ..if it backfires on deceleration its lean ...if it pops on acceleration its running rich.====carb issues
none, unless the old carb wasn't working properly.
yes
With the edelbrock, use the vac line on the carb itself, It will be a small bore, 1/4 ( about ) vacuum line, and should be on the front of the carb.
