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

Stock 1969 318, 9.2:1 cr.
230 factory horse power.

Added 1406 Edelbrock 4 bbl on the stock 2 barrel manifold. (intake manifold ports match the 318 head ports)

Huge power and performance improvement, pass anything you want at 70+ mph on the freeway.

No restriction, no bog, fun to open the secondaries at will when you want more go.

Even the tone of the engine deepened up with the 4 bbl upgrade, now giving it the fuel that it needs. Remember the stock 2 barrel carbs are economy carbs.

Go Man Go

The light Torque Thrust aluminum wheels are part of the secret that makes this setup perform, less rotating mass to spin up. More "Go" to the ground.

It would probably perform even better with the 1405, as the 1406 is also an economy carburetor. The 1405 is the performance version. Still the 1406 is a vast improvement over a BBD.
