Chris shipley Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 just opinions. Wondering what everyone likes using for carburetors. Out of the 2 holley or edlebrock Quote
jft69z Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 Holley, when I was using carbs. Did put a couple of Edelbrocks on customer cars over the years, seemed to work good. Still, Holley 95% of the time. 2 Quote
Michael Boyte Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 As for carburetors I definitely prefer the Holley, However fuel injection is a different ball game Quote
DragCat Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Yea aftermarket I like Holley's, did the same on my blue oval ride. That said everyone has their own favorites 1 Quote

EVC Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Not into retuning my carb at every 50' of elevation change. The Edlebrock, set up with the Edlebrock newer 2701 intake, has made my 350 more dependable than any combination I've used. They simply work better for me and more efficiently than the quad. Back in Jan , I switched the intake to the newer square bore Edlebrock 2701 EPS intake rather than the older spread bore intake … No adapters , no misaligned airflow… After discussion with Edlebrock, I blocked off the intake heat transfer on the 2701 and used the thicker gasket under the Carb for insulation. Edlebrock customer service is second to none…… 1st class all the way. On road trips I get 20mpg and plenty of power. Local driving on Calif crappy gas it averages 16… Quote

MC1of80 Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 If you want reliability, of which, I can't complain about Holley, go with the Edelbrock but know you will be leaving alot of power on the table. 2 Quote
Dtret Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 I do believe Tom is right on with this. I had a 750 Holley on my BB chevelle. A friend of mine didn’t like it so he bought an Edelbrock and put it on. It’s still on it because I don’t drive it anyway but it definitely sucked the life out of that engine. I still have the Holley to put on it if I ever need to. 1 Quote
TheBMan Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Stock Quadrajet here. These don't deserve the reputation they have, they're not difficult to setup and tune. They work well on stock engines. 2 Quote

EVC Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 I heard that Holley may stop making the carbs and go Fuel injection only. Also heard that Edlebrock will copy the Holly carbs and make them even better…. Ed …. Quote
