Edelbrock carb adjustment

Had some friends in the 80's that were carb guys in the Stock/SS... they were charging 300-500 back then to go through carbs to get them right and legal with all the trick stuff. That was a bunch of $ back then. Minimum wage was in the 3.35/hr range! LOL

Playing in that arena and running at the top of class isn't cheap and NOTHING is ootb. I remember going through 500 connecting rods to get 8 that we liked for any specific build. Fricken boxes of rods everywhere to get stuff that matched up nicely.

C/E and Holley styles will work. Depends on what you want to do. I agree that if the Stock elim cars could run any carb, most would have a square bore holley on them withing days of any rule change. And the OEM didn't always do things to make things run the best with the supplier deals and all. Easier to stick with one group than branch out. That all changed around 1970 for mopars when holley 4 barrels started to become std equipment on many V8 engines. Mopar was a Carter company prior to that change. Might be why the street Hemi had the carters on it and not holleys. As mentioned, 68 SS got holleys.
