We Tested a Fake Edelbrock 1406...Here's What Happened!

We’re all about stretching the project car budget—but there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it. In this video, we put that philosophy to the test with a head-to-head comparison between a genuine Edelbrock 1406 carburetor and a suspiciously cheap clone we picked up from a popular online marketplace.

We bolted both carbs onto a dyno-tested Chevy 350 small block with aftermarket Summit Racing heads, a Trick Flow cam and intake, and a setup any home builder might run. While the actual Edelbrock performed very well, the knockoff… well, let’s just say things got a little sketchy.

👀 Watch as we uncover:

How the cheap carb performed straight out of the box
The issues we ran into trying to tune it
What really happened above 4,200 RPM
