Has anyone had issues with the carb bases not sealing?
I bought my 1406 for my wifes car and could not get the thing to idle, found leak on the front base. Thought it may have been the spacer, block sanded it smooth on both sides even usesd some gasgacinch on the spacer side and it leaked. Took the spacer out and it leaked.
I pulled an old Carter AFB out of the cabinet, its been sitting for at least 10 yrs, was on a car that had so much rust and old gas in the tank it was like mud. Bolted it on the car fired right up and idled perfectly at 850.
Im dumbfounded and really disappointed all at the same time!
