Re: Ok lets see just how far I can throw a 750 Holley.

I have a speed shop and after 30 years of wrenching, I can't say that one brand of carbs is better than the other. They both have their quirks and can have problems if they aren't set up properly or get some debris in them. Here's the annoying problems I've experience with Edelbrocks: If the fuel pressure is slightly higher than stock, they flood over or run super-rich. Next, they're very sensitive to engine heat and if you don't have a good insulator between the intake and carb, they run erratic when hot. Finally, if you let your car sit for a few days, the gas magically disappears from the bowls and you have to crank them until the fuel bowls fill up again before they'll start. I prefer Holleys.
