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.
Funny you say that about hard starts after a few days of sitting......mine does exactly that....if it sits for a week, I have to crank on it a bit before it fires. Other than that, it works very well.
