...so I saw that the 1406 had its own sticky, so I figure to myself "Why the hell not".
The Quadrajet has seen quite a few decades of production starting in the mid 60s and became GM's standard-issue fuel delivery system until the era of TBI engines when GM ceased production and Edelbrock was the one left to carry the stone for a bit longer.
Love 'em or hate 'em, countless millions were produced - but I found that any attempts to procure information on them was a trying experience when compared to the newer and still in production Edelbrocks, Holleys, etc.

Quadrajet Owner's Manual
Author: Edelbrock
© 2000 Edelbrock Corp. #1910. Affectionately known to me as: "The Gospel According to Edelbrock". If you own any other Edelbrock carb, then this manual should be extremely familiar to you - and is one of the best tools in your carburetor arsenal.
While Edelbrock discontinued the manufacture of their Q-jet line, they still offer parts that will work on both Edelbrock AND Rochester variants.
