    sbc 350 temps

    I would agree with ya if it was a calif smog motor and had to be smoged.. that would be 36 degs total mechanical advance and then the vacuum advance would be hooked to manifold vacuum for the rest of the advance to the dist because the motor would run lean by calif standards and would need...

    Edelbrock Carb #1406 Calibration & Reference Chart

    the wire issue could cause problems,, the coil will receive 12v as it should,, but it may not be getting the amps it need to function right,, with a kill switch at the other end could cause to much resistance and lower the amps by alot to the coil,, like the old old set ups with the resister...

    sbc 350 temps

    true,, but i also know that 1406's are jet and roded really lean. the rods are 75x47 with 98 jets! way to lean for a 350 crate motor. they work great for a 305 motor... 1405's (70x47 and 100 jets) are jetted to rich for even my 400hp motor,, as for the case of the 1406 carb,, id do a rod...
