Like others have said, "I'm not a big fan of the Edelbrock Carbs "at all" either, but I'm sure there are the exceptions to the rule... But every time, I see a thread about them, I always think about saying, "just take it off & put on a Quickfuel or Holley" or Proform or a Demon even, but any derivative of the Holley type design & quit banging your head against the dang wall"... The definition of "insanity" is; doing the same thing over & over again & expecting a different result, each time... Some people are in love with them & sware by the Edelbrock carbs & I'm by far not, one of those people {sorry if this is insulting or offends those of you out there, that love them, I don't want or care about a response, that's my opinions & it won't be changed now}.... And unless it's a "basic street car", very mild performance upgrades "if any" or maybe multiple carbs because of fit issues only or originality look, restoration, some race, sanctioning, class or track rules, I won't use even them... Edelbrock makes some great products, I'm the 1st one that will sware by them, BUT I don't like their carbs & prefer not to ever use them anymore I'm completely done with them {unless it's a rustoration project, then maybe, just maybe, I might consider it, if I can't find a real Carter}, like I said before there are some exceptions to the rule, but very few examples... Just look at or Google Search, all the complaint threads, all over the w-w-w on all the Mopar sites & even here on FBBO, just about tuning issues & especially stumbling or weird flat spot issues/problems, then the heat soak issues, jetting, squirter, acc.pump, float adjustments, they go on & on, then you can't really find or get proper tech support or jets/metering rods or very few places or have them or you to modify those parts to make them work also... If you have to run a Carter style carb, then get an old AFB, AVS or Themoquad, go thru it or have an expert go thru it, for you & not buy a Weber/Carter Edelbrock knock off, unless your prepared to deal with the many issues, that many people seem to always have to deal with & if you do choose to buy or own one, get all the tuning books or lititure & website help, that you can get your hands on, or make friends with an expert on them, because you will need all of them... Sorry to all you guys who think they are the cats meow, or tits on a ritz, they aren't in my eyes or experiences anyway, can you tell I've been fed up with them a few times ??...LOL... my $0.02 cents, rant over Good luck, you will need it...LOL...
