INTRODUCTION
Your Edelbrock Performer Series carburetor was calibrated using Edelbrock Performer, Performer
RPM, and Torker II Power Packages. The carburetor metering was developed on Edelbrock engine
dynamometers, chassis rolls, and a variety of development vehicles. Although in most applications
you will not need to recalibrate your carburetor, you may wish to change the factory calibration to best
meet any unique

1403-1413 Perf Series Carburetor Owner's Manual.qxd 3/31/2006 12:02 PM Page 2 SECTION 1: THEORY OF OPERATION BASIC ENGINE REQUIREMENTS The spark-ignition 4-cycle engine burns a mixture of AIR and FUEL. The air is controlled by the driver’s operation of the throttle. The fuel is mixed with the incoming air by the carburetor. The Ratio of AIR to FUEL is the AIR/FUEL Ratio (A/F). This is a ratio by WEIGHT; if 12 pounds of Air are combined with 1 pound of Fuel the A/F is 12:1, or more commonly, A

Fuel in the bowl passes through the Primary Main Jet and Metering Rod Restriction (1) and into the Primary Well (2). The fuel for the Idle System is drawn through the restriction at the end of the Idle Jet (3) - a brass tube - and flows up the tube to the location of

1403-1413 Perf Series Carburetor Owner's Manual.qxd 3/31/2006 12:02 PM Page 5 The fuel flow rate in the Main System is proportional to the air flow rate; as air flow increases - from either an increase in throttle opening or an increase in engine speed at the same throttle opening - the fuel flow also increases by nearly the same degree. At higher engine loads, such as in a heavy part-throttle acceleration, there is a need for a richer mixture. This enrichment is provided by the Metering Rod

1403-1413 Perf Series Carburetor Owner's Manual.qxd 3/31/2006 12:02 PM Page 6 Secondary Main System: The Secondary Main System (Figure 5) delivers fuel only when the secondary throttle blades and air valve are open. It ensures that fuel delivery varies with air flow. The Secondary Throttles (1) begin to open when the Primaries are about 65% open. The Primary and Secondary Throttles arrive at the WOT stop at the same time. Air flow through the Secondary side is controlled by Air Valves (2). Th

This is accomplished by placing a small Discharge Nozzle (2) at a point just under the Air Valve (1). The air flow past the edge of the Air Valve creates sufficient pressure drop to pull fuel out of the Auxiliary System. The fuel must first pass through the Secondary M

The Edelbrock Performer Series carburetor has an external pump lever with three hole locations for link attachment providing three distinct pump delivery curves. This is further explained in “Calibrating The Pump”. (3) Pump Je

It was also evaluated for proper metering and vehicle performance using a variety of other air cleaner designs and will perform as intended with nearly any reasonable air cleaner design. While the Edelbrock Performer Series carburetor does not exhib

These charts (pages 18—31) each consist of two sections: A Calibration Table and a Rod/Jet Reference Chart. After reading the Calibration procedures, the next step in calibrating your carburetor is to look at the Calibration Table for your model carburetor. Determine if

First, loosen the Step-Up Piston Cover Screws (See pg. 32) and twist the Step-Up Piston Cover Plates to the side. The Metering Rods and Step-Up Springs can now be removed and replaced if necessary. Be sure to replace the Step-Up Piston Cover Plate and tighten the Step-Up P

Either condition can lead to poor levels of adjustability and erratic idles. � Another fix for the above condition is to run as much spark advance as possible at idle. If the distributor is fitted with a vacuum advance unit, connect it directly to ma

The base calibration has a spring which “stages” rich at 5” Hg. If your vehicle has a mid-throttle driveability problem that is encountered as the throttle is gradually opened, but then goes away upon further opening, it may be possible to eliminate the lean spot by using a s

As the choke cap is turned clockwise the choke will stay closed longer. To properly set the choke turn the choke cap to the leanest notch on the choke housing, loosen the choke housing retaining screws, and run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.

Instead, use the rule of: “2% leaner per 1500 feet” and the Calibration Reference Chart for your model carburetor. For example, with a #1405 at baseline calibration (location #1 on the chart) and intended operation at 6000 ft. altitude, you would want 6000 divided by 1500 x 2% = 8%
