I hate Holleys because I've worked on so many of them.
I never had to work on an EDL other than changing rods and jets.

 

edelbrock performer rpm airgap / holley 600 FTW!!!

Offy's are cool though, mainly because they are rarely seen and give that vintage muscle look.

 

Edelbrock rpm airgap / holley street avenger 670 (would be overcarbuerated if I wasn't running nitrous)

 

I would go with teh Edelbrock manifold, Performer RPM or Victor Jr. depending on engine modifications & hood clearance, that's what they've always been famous for. As for the carb, I would go with either a Holley or a Demon. I think Edelbrock carbs are junk. As for carb size, again it is dependent on engine mods. 650 cfm at most or 500 cfm for stock engine. Good luck.

 

At one time or another I have run both carbs, I have been happy with both. What I am looking at now is the price difference between the Edelbrock and the Holley, I have a hard time paying the extra hundred bucks or so for the Holley when (to me) the performance of either is so close.

So far I have been able to run both of these carbs "out of the box", (more or less) with very few issues. I put an edelbrock on my sons truck, due to price considerations, and due to the fact that my 17 year old will have no idea how to adjust this carb,and to boot, hewillprobably wonteven know when it needs adjustment.

The idea of him emulating meadjusting or tuning his carburator does not thrill me, so the less he sees me doing this the better.

 

autolite 4100 and weind intake edelbrock air gap!!! if not go for a holley preferably a 4150 series but if your going with heads and intake too 500-600 cfm should be fine for sure

 

I willrun nothing but Holley carbs. I have had a few Edelbrocks in the pastbut removed them and went back to the Holleys. The ET slips at the track dont lie.

just my .02

hollys ftw, but a demon is even better just cause its more of a "tweaked" holley right outta the box

 

I like Briggs and Stratton carbs. The only thing you really have to replace with a kit is the diaphragm.

 

LMAO i love those too cause you just cannot win if you drain the gas out the diaphram dries out if you let some sit in it gets gummed up over time i hate them but they are simple
