Re: Edelbrock 500 for 292?
What does a vacuum secondary WCFB look like? Is there a diaphragm? I have never seen one.

Re: Edelbrock 500 for 292?
Here is an EBAY auction with a '56 Mercury WCFB with vacuum secondrie's. I believe Chrysler use some in the mid 50' too.
There was also a Carter AFB in '57 and '58 with the same vacuum secondarie's used on the 312 and 352 engines. Sal https://www.ebay.com/itm/REBUILT-Car...BczIz0&vxp=mtr |

Re: Edelbrock 500 for 292?
You know, it would help to provide the number of the WCFB carb. At least then, a better decision could be made. Some of them are worth money, depending on the condition. WCFB carbs can be successfully rebuilt just like all other carbs. Parts however if needed are another story. And yes, all the adjustments must be done, as on all carbs that are rebuilt. They are very important, and never spot-on as is.

The problem with WCFB's is that they don't have the part number stamped in the casting like the Carter AFB's doo. They had a brass tag, that is missing most of the time. It's more than likely # 2361 ('56 Mercury) or '57 Lincoln # 2404. Sal |

Re: Edelbrock 500 for 292?
I agree on that, the tags are often gone. However, with some detective work, you can narrow it down pretty close. The type and shape of the base, the shape of the accel arm, the casting #s on the air horn and main body, and there are other certain add-ons to the outside of the carb that are specific to a certain car.
And as for fuel pump pressure, ALL carbs are sensitive to excess pressure. All you need is enough pressure to keep the bowl full under normal operating conditions. Many carb and driveability problems can be traced back to excess pressure. (Not what kind of carb you are using, ever hear that said before?) |

Re: Edelbrock 500 for 292?
Yes, I have an old Carter Bible with all the carb numbers, part numbers and specs, so I've identified carb numbers by the calibration and certain outside parts. I've done the same with old Rochester carbs before they stamped the part numbers and used brass tags.
