Two-step metering rods allow independent custom tuning of cruise and power circuits. An easy-to-install linkage adapter kit makes installation on automatic transmission Fords and Chryslers a breeze. And, metering rods are changed without disassembling the carb to further simplify the installation process. A wide selection of rods makes it easier to zero in on optimum calibration for the engine.

Customer Reviews

Awsome Carb for a great price...
Sixties Lincoln owners out there need to know that this is the carb you need for your 430 or 462 Lincoln with a 4-barrel. It is a 600cfm carb tuned for street performance and economy that is essentially the same design as the original carb.

The Edelbrock design uses the Carter AFB design with some improvements made over the last 35 years. Edelbrock bought out Carter some time ago and got the tooling. It's a bolt-on with little or no mods to make to get your Lincoln running. On some Lincolns, you have to grind a little bit of the throttle brackets. My '66 required NO MODS whatsoever for this carb to work.

One note: the fuel inlet is on the passenger side instead of the driver's side, so you either need to bend a new fuel line or buy a the 90 degree fuel line kit to make it fit under the air cleaner. Since you can't see the carb or the fuel line under the air cleaner, it all looks stock anyway.

With free shipping, you can't beat Amazon's price, which ties two other places for the lowest price online. Don't pay $400 for a "Brand New Carter Carbureter" at a classic Lincoln parts seller. Buy this carb here and be satisfied with the easiest carb swap you can make.

Edelbrock 1406 Carburetor
I've been using Edelbrock Performer Series carburetors for almost 15 years now. They are reliable and easy to adjust or modify to meet a stock or modified engines needs for best fuel related performance. Kits are readily available to rejet your carburetor to meet 'special needs' or performance issues.

I like the fuel bowl design since 'leaks' are NONEXISTENT, unlike with some Holly and other models. The electric-choke operates smoothly and is easy to adjust for various climates or conditions. I definitely recommend the Edelbrock Performer Series carburetor that matches your engines requirements.
