Carb issues, just chime in.

chevy 454 with edlebrock q-jet intake. Decent size cam in it.

So, i tried to run a quadrajet that i had. Can not get it to idle. the guy working on the car has years and years on these things. there is some corrosiion building up in it and thinks that some of the fuel passages may be getting clogged. The vehicle just can not maintain a normal idle. It will idle fine, then not, then normal again.

Tore it all apart. Everything looks good and we blew everything out.
im going to get a new carb. this one is 30 years old.

I was going to get a Edlebrock 1813 or 1413. Then i read that edlebrocks are awful and go with holley. Im lost. Any suggestions????
