Whats my best carb with little work and good performance?
Same size...
Holleys will usually be superior in performance in every case, but, have more parts in them to mess up.
Ede's are less prone/sensitive to garbage in them.
You want it to run hard, but a holley on. You want to drive around with a generally, pretty trouble free carb, run an Ede.
I call Ede carbs taxi cab carbs...
.
True, true 100%
Yet if you put 2 of those taxi cab carbs on a rare dual quad intake--removing the front carb secondary air door, you get the best of both worlds. Trouble free, great idle and smooth steady power as you open it up.
I run my Carter 500's one to one. Works better with my 3,000 stall and 3.91 gears.
Not planing on running anything else, no complaints. Some day I like the try taking the other secondary air door out but runs so good I just never seen the need.
Those dual quads intakes are still out there thanks to ebay and fabo, I think somebody has one for sale right now. It is the most costly way to go and when parts cost me over $800 adding everything up and I still needed linkage, hoses, throttle springs, etc I was getting worry I might regret this but it worth every penny looking back 2 years.
I let my car sit for 2 weeks in the garage, took it out a few times--300 miles the last 2 weeks. Drove it hard the first time in over a month, everything worked great. I got just under 1,000 miles on it since getting out from 3 months winter storage-drove it home in 30 degree temps--drove it in mid 20's.
Ran car in mid 80's, no matter the temp, time of year, motor seems to run the same--as for idle smoothness and just getting around.
Did I say i really like my dual Carters:laughing:
