A quick question for you mopar experts out there . When placing a 1406 eddy on a stock 71 New Yorker 440 do I require the adapter? A few years back I put a 1406 on a 74 Road Runner which had the 360 and the adapter was required I believe the 360 had a carter carb but i am not 100% sure the 440 has the Carter so I am thinking that the adapter is required plus the throttle linkage adapters any other tips when changing over to an eddy what about the cruise control? Will I be able to take the piece of the Carter throttle linkage and transver it onto the eddy. .any suggestions would be appreciated. .thanks guys

Thank you fine sir another quick question when I placed the eddy(electronic choke)on the 74 Road Runner I ran the postive directly to the fuse box that had an assery spot in the box I not sure if the New Yorker has the same set up but if not any good suggestions as to run the positive wire from the choke an ignition source? ..thanks for responding brother..cheers.

The edelbrock adapter runs about $20. I'm doing this same swap on my T&C soon. The linkage adapter was reasonable too. I'm using the eddy 1411.

The 360 had a Carter Thermoquad (spread bore, meaning secondaries were larger than primary bores).
I would think your 440 has a square bore carb? Carter AVS?

That's a sweet looking car. What is the color called.
Yes it is a carter avs and the primary bores are smaller than the secondaries thanks for the reply.
I believe it's called gun metal poly but it does look blue to most folks

I don't think you will need an adapter to go from an AVS to a 1406.
You will need the adapter if you took a Thermoquad or other such spreadbore carb off that intake. If it looks like this yes..
No if it looks like this....

Putting a 1406 on stock manifold you need Eddie adapter 2696. Call the Eddie Tech line and they'll tell you the same thing.

You will also need Eddie adapter 1481 for the linkage.

Only if he has a spreadbore (Thermoquad) which he doesn't (AVS).Putting a 1406 on stock manifold you need Eddie adapter 2696. Call the Eddie Tech line and they'll tell you the same thing.

Does the 440 have a spread bore intake or a square bore intake?
You will need the adapter if the manifold is a spread bore.

I don't if a 71 air cleaner will work on a 1406. A stock Formal air cleaner will fit on a 1406. Aftermarket air cleaners will hit the electric choke so if you are going with aftermarket you can get a plastic Mr Gasket 1/2" carb spacer from AAP or AZ. They have them on the shelf.

Not to derail, but this carb is my favorite on a stock 440.
I bought one refurbished from Holley for just over $200 on Ebay. Ran like a champ. The 1405s and 06s have always had a lean surge on the secondaries.
