I have a 1963 BelAir 409/400hp. what would be the best Edelbrock Carb. to buy new.

If you go with the edlebrock carburetors the air breather base won't fit the air inlets.

Thanks, that would be an issues!

Wish It had the original carburetor I would definitely do that. but it has a Edelbrock 1407 on it and it stumbles starting off. It probably cost half of what a new one would cost to rebuild it, and they might not get it right!

what date code is your car/engine stamp ? 63 car it is 3499 to early -64 400 hp late 64-65 400hp then 3783. I have a M4 (dec 64 model year) complete but will need rebuilt.

Get the new Eddy 800 Thunder carburetor, it works amazing. I had one on my 454 and did a test at the track and it ran pretty respectable and was only down 2 tenths and 2 mph form my 1000 Mighty Demon that day. Well worth the money and way better then the Eddy 750.

Haven't looked for the date code yet. The engine is a QA engine.

I believe that Show Cars sells an adapter to use the stock air cleaner housing on a ''modern;'' carb.I had one,remember who I sold it too,likely cis avcaileable.
