I'm building a 302, B303 cam, Performer intake, shorties. What do you guys like better, Holley or Edelbrock? I'veowned several Holley's over the years, they do gofast, but it seems like they require alot of maintenance and constant adjustments. I've never been around a car with an Edelbrock carb, but I don't like the fact that the fuel inlet in on the passenger rear and the PVC is in the front. I'm not going to the track with this car, I want to go fast ocassionally but be able to drive around town comfortably. And advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

 

I would go with an Edelbrock.. I used to run that and a Carter AFB on my camaro.. And i never had any problems..I had a Holley and dont really care for them because they are usually vacuum secondaries.. But im sure they make them mechanical as well.. I just like the fact that the Edelbrock, when you hammered itthe four barrels kicked in and you were gone..Just my input.. Hope that helps a little

 

I would look at what all the hi-po carb guys use to build their custom carbs, the Holley body! Edelbrock is a copy of the old Rochester unit, junk in my opinion, but everyoneto his own taste!

 

they do in fact make holleys with manual secodaries, the model number on mine is 4776. it's a 600DP. they require a lot of tuning though.

 

edelbrock are very simple to tune. i think holley makes a better carb but JMO

 

holley all the way. i dont knwo whats with everyone and having to tune them all the time i had mine tuned once and never had to touch it again. they make more power by far and they just look a lot better than the edles

 

I have heard good things about the edelbrock carbs (Carter AFB) from friends running them. Demon carbs a suppost to be some of the best.

 

demons are very nice and very expensive

 

eldebrock there less trouble to tune always

 

A holley 570 avenger would work good on your car. I havent touched the holley on my vert in several years.
