Who do you guys think has the most reliable and consistent carburetors? Edelbrock or Holley, or another one? I'm getting one soon, I want a reliable carb for my daily driver. I know I need one with an electric choke, these cold mornings are killing me. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

holley's are just harder to rebuild, go w/ edel

Personally I opted for an Autolite 4100. To steal a phrase from Ronco, Set it and Forget it

I have had very good results with Holley easy to tune & no problem rebuilding one.
I have no experiance with Edelbrock heard just rumers that they are a pain in the *** to tune and keep tunned.

i didnt vote because i have the exact same question so i can wait to see the result I know when mustang Monthly did their project car they used an Edelbrock 600cfm carb for their 289. though it was a little too big apparently. but i got a 351W so i plan for something big like that.

AS for the Old 4 barrrel ROAR, i like the edelbrock. I dont ever tune my carbs, even though, my edelbrock carbs, are said to be easy to tune. And they sound so much better then a Holley, which still has some problems IMO.

Thanks for the comments guys. What specific carb would you guys recommend? I really dont know what size to get.

For a daily driver, I would go with a Holley 600 Vac secondary, electric choke. If you want more performance, Holley 650 dual feed, Mech. secondary, manual choke. I would not even think about an Edelbrock!

Is this kind of what your talking about, I have been thinking about this one for quite a while.
