Edelbrock??? rebuild

I was given a carburetor that looks like an edelbrock from another very generous user. (Thanks again, Calvin.

) I have rebuilt a 2bbl Holley before, but have had no experience with Edelbrock. Is there a place to look on the carburetor to know which model it is so I know which rebuild kit to get and is this a difficult carb to rebuild. I don't think so, as everything I've seen says they are more simple. Any insight would be very helpful. I looked on the Edelbrock site and they have no tech info.

The carb number is stamped into the front of the baseplate in front of the stud area. It should be a 4 digit number like 1406 or something similiar.

I have surmised that it is a Carter AFB. The number is 9637SA. Any more insights would be helpful.

The 9637 is a 625 cfm carb designed for a Ford application(it should have the Ford AT kickdown linkage). They are an excellent carb with a lot of tuneability.

Thank you. It does have the kickdown lever and I went ahead and rebuilt it yesterday. It will be a little while before I can get it mounted as I need an intake for the 4bbl. Are the metering jets all the same size for the primary and secondary. I got them out last night and didn't mark them. All the numbers look the same, but I didnt look under magnification. Which jets should be used for my stock 360 and which metering rods are recommended. Should I get a tuning kit for it with various options, or will it run fine as it is?
