With all the matched up components from the different manufacturer's, it basically a question of what you want to get out of your engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake350 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have a mild sunday cruiser... I also read that once you set up an Edelbrock, they are good to go"(set it and forget it)" but for freguent changes(ie better tuneability) the performance guys prefer Holley... I put a 600 cfm eddy1406 on a very mild 350... due to its "tuned for economy" I changed primary metering jets and rods to richen it up a bit and she has been perfect for my needs for over 15 years... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a Holley because it would not run very well with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Montelishi came with a 1405, plus the matching cam and intake. She was jetted for lower elevations, so when she got to the mountains, I had to lean ot the jetting quite a bit....... But working on Edelbrock is pretty simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Holley 750 vacuum sec. First 10 yrs,now Holley Brawler 750.runs much better just out of the box.had to reduce the rear jets though,82's down to 76's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Carter Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I have been and Edelbrock fan since the 90's I put the new AV2 on the engine last year. its a 650 instead of the 600. there is total throttle response. It drives like a throttle body fuel injected engine in my opinion. Edelbrock is much easier to jet up. You don't have to disassemble the carb to play with the jets. In fact, you don't have to remove the carb at all. I respect Holly but you seem to have more adjustments to maintain. I set up my AV2 and its good until I fool around with it because I want to. Not because I have to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobW Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I was just gifted this spreadbore manifold. I currently have the stock 2 barrel on my '72. I had a 1405 Edelbrock on my '37 Pontiac with chevy 350 for years. Always ran great. Will this manifold work well with an adapter, or should I search for another manifold to run an edelbrock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice gift to receive there !! There's nothing quite like the moaning of a spreadbore !!!! If you choose to use the factory air cleaner assembly , Don't forget to flip the breather cover !! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S. Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Personally, I'd look for another carb... Depending on if you want to go stock. I like the Edelbrock carbs, but they don't mix with factory pieces like Holley does. And an adapter can throw the linkage geometry out of wack. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whons Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I like the Edelbrock carbs. they perform well for me. They are easy to work on. You can change the jets without taking the carb. apart. But you have to have a pressure regulator as they require a max of 6 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something from a Corvette or performance Camaro usually runs around 8 psi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
