Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

I'm a firm believer (for many years now) that all of these carbs are 100 MPG carbs. All of them. The Carter, Holley, TQ, Q-jet...all of them. Why they aren't is for another thread.

I kindof figured that out in 2004, when my combo went 32mpg with an 1850 that I leaned on strictly for hiway cruising with no real tuning, just threw something at it, to see if it would stick. Ima thinking it couldda done even better. Course nobody buys 32 mpgs on a 367 HO engine, so most of the time I keep it to myself. I can't speak to 100mpgs tho,lol.

I have a manual trans and the 750DP is a thing of beauty in the corners; it's dial-a-power., slide-control, and infinitely featherable, to keep the back in the back. For my driving style, nothing else worked, especially the 750Vsecondary; which was just full of surprises. I don't care about dragracing, I care about keeping it between the ditches when I come in too hot. Yeah sure I could brake earlier..... but there is no adrenaline in driving around a corner.
The 750DP is a nice size for my 11/1-367HO. I wouldn't install a smaller carb that's for certain.
The 600 primaries (secondaries were blocked off) were more than enough for long-distance touring.
