Re: Edelbrock Carb

Over the years I have run QJs, Carter AFBs (Edelbrock predecessor) current Edelbrocks and Holleys. They all have their issues if not set up correctly and mated to the correct engine, cam, intake, timing, etc. Holleys worked for me racing my '57 2dr on the 1/4 mile but after three or four runs I always had to readjust the float level. Currently I have an original 600 cfm Carter AFB on a Edellbrock Performer RPM intake, 350 ci. and "built" 700R4 in my '71 Chevelle . Runs great with a generic parts store mechanical fuel pump. '71
4x4 truck has a Edelbrock #9625 (625 cfm) on Edlebrock intake, stock 350 and also generic parts store mechanical pump. No fuel regulators on either one but I do run a phenolic spacer on both. No hard hot starts on either. Only issue I have if either vehicle sets for a couple weeks of no run time I do have to prime the carb. Thinking that is due to fuel evaporation from the bowl, may be wrong on that but not a big deal to me.

Carb opinions are like bellybuttons, everybody has one!!
