Hi All, I've created a new thread since I've bought a new carb, which is working a lot better already. Previous thread can be found over here : Holley 750dp lean secondary tip in I've replaced my carb with a Brawler 670 vacuum secondary BR67256 and I'm currently trying to jet the Brawler for...

Hi All, I've replaced the Edelbrock 1406 600CFM on my car for a Holley 750 DP and I'm currently trying to jet the holley for optimal performance. Driving on the primaries is going pretty well, it's drive able. However, it's going very lean when opening the secondaries and it stays lean for...

Hi all, I've bought a secondhand Holley 4150 Double pumper with manual choke. Model number 4779-9. I'm in the process of cleaning it and installing new gasket, which was much needed. To do this I've bought holley kit 37-485. But it looks like they've supplied the wrong throttle body gasket...

Hi all, I'm pretty familiar with jetting Solex and Weber IDF carbs, but the edelbrock carb is new to me. Mainly the rods and springs are new for me. I've read that a 1406 is pretty lean out of the box, but I can't find a lot people that have shared their 1406 jetting. I'm investing in dual O2...

Hi all, I'm working on getting my '68 Newport back on the road. I've rebuild a lot of parts and I'm now at the point of reconnecting and setting the throttle and kickdown linkage. I tried setting it up as it was when I've bought the car, but that's definitely not the way it should've been...

Hi all, I'm working on my engine for my 1968 Newport. The original 383 was toast so I got a 1977 400 engine, also from a Newport. I'm currently cleaning and painting all engine components so that the engine can go in like it was new from the factory. I want to use most parts from my '68 383...

Hi All, I've got some basic questions I can't really find the answers to. Not a lot of people use the 400 engines, and almost every post I can find about this engine is people saying "up the compression". I agree, the late 400 engines have shitty low compression. But it's what I have and I...

Hi All, I've got some questions about a 1977 400CID engine. I am pretty familiar with the 383B and 440RB engine, but the 400B is fairly new to me. Where can I find the engine number/VIN on a 1977 400 engine from a Chrysler Newport? I tried looking on the flat surface just above the oil pan on...

Hi all, Couple of questions. My matching numbers 383 is disassembled and needs a lot of work for rebuilding. I'm thinking of dropping in another engine to be able to drive while I'm rebuilding my 383. 383 are really hard to get over here (in the Netherlands). I came across a 361 industrial...

Hi all, More questions! I've got a '68 Newport. It still has the original 383 with 9.2:1 compression in it with a TF727 behind it. The intake was swapped by the previous owner with a Edelbrock DP4B aluminium intake. The current carburetor is a Edelbrock 1406 600CFM 4 barrel carb. Points...

Hey all, I'm cleaning and rebuilding the edelbrock 1406 carb that was on my '68 Newport when I've bought it. A much needed job since there was a lot of junk in the float bowls etc (will check the petrol tank soon). I've bought the edelbrock rebuild kit with P/N 1477. But there are a couple...
