Stock '69 318, t-quad vs q-jet vs holley vs edelbrock?

I think some people need to re-read post #1. I read from THAT, that the engine is an original 69 engine. I also read from the OPs message that he just wants a small power upgrade that he can feel & he is smart enough to realise that going further with bigger cams etc on a 50+ yr worn engine is asking for trouble.....
Below is a comparison of a 600 Holley v 625 Carter AFB. AFB made more hp, more tq, everywhere & used less fuel doing it. Test was conducted by Edel in the early 70s. Before anybody cries foul/bias: it was not until about 15 yrs later that Edel started making the AFBs & Edel actually were selling Holley carbs under an EDel part #, closer to the time this test was conducted. #4301 is an 850 Holley in my 1979 Edel catalog.
