I believe there is a tenth to be had with a switch to a pair of Holley's for j pars combo.
A pair of box stock Holley 600's would do it.
At least, if the chassis and clutch will support it.

On a Edelbrock I've always check the float levels but they've always been perfect on everyone ever touched. Guess I just got lucky. Also I've never been in any kind of race to do anything on a carburetor so being able to do it real fast doesn't help me any...
You do realize all your precise tuning is lost as soon as the barometric pressure changes from the time you tuned it and also anytime you go to a different elevation?
If your suggestions are going to be spend $2, 000 on two thousand-dollar Hollies then yes please keep your suggestions, smart move..
No duh....
Agreed.
LOL I look who cometh forward with the most comments LOL... FISH ON!!
I was just being conservative.At least, if the chassis and clutch will support it.
Totally disagree with the title. I've owned both. Still own both. I do not see any more simplicity with a eddy vs a Holley. Try changing a needle and seat and adjust a float level on a eddy as fast as the 1 minute that I did in this video on a Holley.
How much is that tenth going to cost me!? LOLI believe there is a tenth to be had with a switch to a pair of Holley's for j pars combo.

Ask Cope and wilrun318, didn't they offer to help with the switch. as in some used carbs, needing only kits.How much is that tenth going to cost me!? LOL
2k for two holleys???? LOL.....How much is that tenth going to cost me!? LOL
yes. 3310 I like, not a huge fan of the 1850. And using the QFT vacuum canister makes it real easy.What about tuning on a 4160 style holley are they as simple and as easy as the double pumpers?
I've never tried the Thunder series. I'd like to though....My combo loved the 750DP it ran for years. Simple it was to tune for me.
My eye wants an Eddy to look like a carter and close to stock. I put a Thunder AVS 800 on. It was easy to tune to my setup.
I do not miss the 750DP at all.

Although you may need to change a jet initially most of the time you only have to change the step up rods to make a jetting change to an Eddy, AVS or an AFB
- I can change JETS faster in a Holley than anyone can in a Eddy. Eddy owners have "minimum" control of jetting with the metering rods/springs, but must remove the top of the carb to change the JETS. And, the jetting on a Holley is much easier to understand than a eddy. Talk about science, on a eddy you have to add/subtract the metering rod into the jet size..... LOL
- All the other "tuning" you mentioned for the Holley is for precise tuning. Not that the eddy don't NEED it, it just don't offer it... LOL

One of these crack wizz keyboard punchers was just recommending $1,000 Holley carburetor on another thread.
- Glad to hear your floats have been perfect ... and the speed of changing needle and seat was to show ease and simplicity. Not a race ..LOL
- No, I guess I failed to realize all my precise tuning is thrown out the window
- 2k?? I want U for a customer.... BWAHAHAHAAA Even if you went NEW.. Holley 0-3310SA: 750 cfm 4-Barrel Carburetor All Aluminum Construction | JEGS
- No, just Duh.....
- Agreed to..... BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA
no, i'd get both carbs for 400 or less... good 2nd hand ones...One of these crack wizz keyboard punchers was just recommending $1,000 Holley carburetor on another thread.
It's possible!
Holley FR-80909RD 1350 CFM Gen 3 Ultra Dominator Carburetor- Factory Refurbished
You do realize what you're suggesting is about a $1, 200 Adventure? You're really recommend in for my combination that the best money spent would be $1, 200 on 2 Holley carburetors??
I too have had it with Holley carbs last 3 cars all Mopars all had Edelbrock carbs, tuning is a sanp.Worked on Holleys for years on the street. I will not have one, except to sell. Always working on it, never quite right. Any 4 other barrel is better for the street. My brother had a Holley on his 65 Mustang 289 K motor that was messing up, so I put a MOPAR Carter AVS on it while I rebuilt the Holley. When I was done rebuilding the Holley, he told me to sell the Holley, because he was keeping the AVS. It ran so much better. Sold all my Holley "tuning" parts years ago, now I never have to "dork" with a Holley again. A friend of mine Just pulled all the Holleys from his street cars and replaced them with Edelbrocks after his twin brother had a beautiful 55 Chevy Restomod catch on fire from the Holley. Carters just flat out work.
For informational purposes, to change the fuel mixture with a Carter/Edelbrock, you just change rods. I does not get any better, faster or easier than that.
Lol..no, i'd get both carbs for 400 or less... good 2nd hand ones...
Please elaborate on the secondary doorI like’em. The AFB model can sometimes have a bog spot when you slam the go pedal down. The spring loaded secondary door is really nice for getting rid of that issue.
No rabbit hole.... if you are happy with the eddies, no sense in pulling them. I have a eddy on the '77 Ramcharger. It runs good, so it stays on. I'm not looking to drop the ET on that... LOL. I have a set of 1850's.... one was running on the ramcharger, and the other is what I might consider parts... but may be rebuildable. I've seen 1850's for 50 bucks here. I believe a pair of 1850's would out perform what you have (and i'm not a 1850 fan).Lol..
I'll indulge this rabbit hole..
