Wow thanks guys..great info! The current Edelbrock Performer is actually the 1407 speadbore with manual choke. took a quick look at it today. I have one of those clear glass filters and it indeed looks a little gunked up. Im going to take your advice use some B12 for a cleanup as i really think its just got some gunk in there. Im going to check the fuel pressure from the pump as well. I replaced a dead pump a year or two ago. pretty sure the new pump was a brand new Carter....also I have one of those Mr Gasket spacers withe the metal heat shields kicking around my garage. i never used it because i was worried about hood clearance but maybe (if i can locate it) Ill see if i could use it. in the meantime a good B12 clean and a new filter.....what should the fuel pump be running pressure wise just in case?
