13 December 2018 - Refurbished 1405

The Edelbrock 1405 I ordered from Ebay has arrived.  Even though it was advertised as being completely refurbished, I ended up having to replace several pieces.

The step up piston assemblies were in bad shape and would not move freely.  I replaced them with spares and they now work as they should.

Also replaced the metering rods with new components.

I also had to replace the accelerator pump plunger assembly.  It looked well used, the plastic was discolored.

The idle mixture screws were also in need of replacement.  I had a kit and installed those pieces.

I still need to check the pump jet assembly to make sure the components are useable.
