Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've ordered 3 carburetors during the past 1 years and the first two were Edelbrock's Thunder Series 500 & 650 CFMs w/Endurashine. Both were beautiful and worked to perfection. When I changed my heads & cam, I decided to order the Edlebrock 750 CFM, 1407 and save a few dollars (versus the Thunder/Endurashine). Well that turned out to be a major mistake. The carburetor arrived and I immediately noticed the plastic cover bag did not appear new and the carb base plate had nicks/scratches. Also, it was missing the base gasket. I used my old gasket and thought the nicks/scratches would not affect the performance of the carburetor, so I installed it. The car was running rich (it was fine with the Thunder 650 CFM) so I started to fine tune the carb, and that's when I noticed the right air/fuel mixture screw was loose--should not be; the spring & close tolerance of the screw should keep the screw snug throughout all adjustments. I should have checked these screws before installing the carb...it was totally unexpected. When turning the screw to within 1 turn of the stop, the screw was snug, but the carb was out of tune. Turning the screw to an optimal setting (RPM/Idle), and the screw was loose. It's all about quality and I'm very disappointed with Edelbrock's quality control and Amazon.com's quality control WRT inspecting their packages.
