The Edelbrock 1406 Performer Series 600 CFM electric choke carburetor is a precisely tuned, quality-built carburetor that can handle the rigors of daily driving while delivering consistent, reliable street performance from day to day. Several characteristics make the 1406 Performer Series 600 CFM electric choke carburetor an outstanding street performer. The first one is that metering rods are utilized to transition between circuits. The carburetor is unaffected by engine backfires, which means that there are no power valves to blow out, and the rods can be changed in seconds without carburetor removal or fuel draining. Secondly, the carburetor has the unique ability to "hold a tune", so once it is tuned, the carburetor stay's tuned. What this means to you is that compared to other carburetors, the performance remains consistent and the calibration stays unchanged. The lightweight all-aluminum body features a two-piece body that resists warping and is compatible with gasohol and blended fuels. The simple tub-type bowls and rear-pivot floats all contribute to a carburetor that's reliable, user-friendly and is easily tunable for miles and miles of trouble-free operation.

The Edelbrock Performer Series carburetor is a proven street carb designed to deliver improved throttle response and airflow while maintaining the reliability needed for daily-driven Full Size Jeeps.
Built with a lightweight aluminum body, the Performer carb helps dissipate heat more effectively than heavier cast units, reducing heat soak and maintaining consistent fuel delivery. Its two-piece construction resists warping over time and makes internal servicing or calibration changes straightforward if adjustments are ever desired.
Unlike carburetors that rely on power valves, the Performer uses a metering rod system to transition smoothly between operating circuits. This design eliminates common failure points associated with power valves and provides stable fuel delivery under varying load conditions. The result is predictable street performance and a carburetor that tends to “hold its tune” once properly set up.
The simple float bowl design and rear-pivot floats contribute to consistent fuel control. Each unit is factory calibrated and typically requires minimal adjustment out of the box.
