One problem i have been having is erratic starting issues. Some days it fires right up and others its all crank and pump. Finally figured out that the electric choke on the Edelbrock 1406 was the culprit. Apparently being powered via the ignition switch is not the best way for these. Leaving the key in the on position without immediately starting engine on cool but not cold mornings is not good. The electric choke heats up fast leading to poor starting. Some on the net suggest powering the choke from the stator on the alternator works well. The stator lug only provides 12V when the engine is actually running preventing choke from heating and opening before starting. Connected the choke with an inline fuse (10A) to the number 2 lug on mine and it seems to work well so far.
