In response to dja
dja,
Welcome to CT and kudos to you wanting to wrench on your own stuff. Do you know which model Edelbrock you have? Some of the more learned here may have model specific info or recommendations that could be helpful to you.
I'm 49, and four years ago I rebuilt my first carb while a learned friend watched and offered helpful information & advice. If you want to rebuild it yourself, do you have any learned friends or family who can offer assistance when you might like? I'm sure there are plenty of guys here who have rebuilt a carb for the first time with nothing more than the carb and a rebuild kit. Brand specific books and online information/articles are available to give you more info. I've found Holley rebuild articles online and Edelbrock ones are probably out there, too. Rebuild kits for almost any of the major brand carbs (Edelbrock included) are typically available. Once you have your model number you can either visit your local autoparts store, or do a web search at Summit, Jegs, Carbs Unlimited, Carb Connection, and more...
There is a professional carb rebuilder who posts here, occasionally. His name escapes me at this particular moment. I think he may sell rebuild kits, as well.
Have fun & good luck,
Scott/Gotta56forme
PS: my first rebuild went pretty smoothly. I just had to pull it off once to readjust the floats.
