Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!
I voted for Edelbrock because thats what my old C10 had, and I thought it was a pretty good carb while tinkering with it. We have a 52 Ford F6 with a 2 barrel Holley though that gets the job done.
My true love though is the Rochester Monojet.

I agree x3. I have a Q-jet on all of my rides. The best ones are the ones made from 1975-80. My Malibu starts like it has fuel injection.

Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!
I would have to say that the qjets are really good for a cruiser, nut the problem is that they are getting hard to find in good condition. The throttle shafts get worn and then they start to earn thier name quadrabog. The edlebrock has been working good in its place, and nothing beats a 750 double pumper on my chevelle, but it is a little thirsty.

^Basically he's saying he shoots a Weathrby because he likes how it performs, even if ammunition is expensive, and bigstrapperpete uses a double pump carb because it performs well, even if it does guzzle gas.

For a 4X4 you gotta go with a Holley Truck Avenger. They run great right out of the box!

LoL.
Yeah but see if the OP had phrased "Which performs better...." then maybe Holley would have a chance. Maybe! ![]()

Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!
Q-jet all the way and that is on my modified engines as well. Edelbrock as a second choice of a daily driver. Holley on a super high HP racer that you tune all the time anyway.
Q-jets are probably the most misunderstood carb on the plant (especially to those that call them quardabog or quardajunk). I have a Q-jet on the 406 SBC in my Monte Carlo that runs a good sized street cam, it starts on one pump and runs like it is fuel injected no matter what the weather. Look at all the super stocks in NHRA that run q-jets and do it well, yes it is a rule deal but no one trys to play with one other factory carbs in super stock. The only way I will remove a q-jet by choice is to convert to Fuel Injection.
