Edelbrock carb adjustment

Oh hell yea.


What year now was that?

I doubt it but it is also the year the statement was made and what was available then. How far developed and what Holley was available in Ed’s day? Fast forward how many years since the days of Ed?


I have no doubt that a TQ, Edelbrock/Carter can perform really well and stand next to or right close behind a Holley until the serious guns come out. Then the (Credit PRH!) racier stuff, LOL! Race engines come out and the tune-ability of the Holley prevails.

I‘ve seen some cool mods done to a Edelbrock. Minor mods on a TQ. But a Holley is made to modify. @yellow rose should write a post explaining how to tune a Holley..... some.... power valve wise... just sayin....

I can get a TQ to perform pretty darn good. I haven’t yet modified one for a “Race Engine” build. I’m currently not all that curious. Maybe one day.....

(Come on retirement day! And lotto.... what the hell! Might as well throw that in there too!)

How do those Class racers make so much power with those "inferior" Carter and Rochester carbs? What ever works for you is fine with me. I have about 100 carbs, no Holleys. I dislike Holleys, but I'm not stupid enough to take a sledge hammer to one, I'd sell it to some one who can, or thinks he can make it run. I ran a Holley for years, then woke up and started trying other carbs that ran just as good or better. I also have not bought a new carb in 30+ years. My friends that still race do run Holley carbs, but on their street cars run Edelbrock or TQ.
