Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!

Here's my 2 cents in order of personal preference.

1 Edelbrock / Carter AFB
2 Quadrajet
3 Holley

It's not that I don't like Holley, just don't like draining the fuel bowl to change a jet or have a bowl gasket leak.

Edelbrocks are easy to tune and easy to work on. I have one on my daily driver and it starts easily and quickly everytime, even in cold weather. Throttle response is pretty good as well.

Therotically, a Quadrajet is similar in design to the Edelbrock / AFB in that it uses metering rods, a secondary air valve and you just pop the top for any tuning. It's been a while since I've ran one, aren't parts getting harder to find? I understand Edelbrock is discontinuning their line of Qjets.

It all boils down to personal preference I guess, some people like Dodge, some prefer Ford some like Chevy, but in the big picture, they all do the same thing.
