Yes, but do you have any idea how many people that read this board have no clue how to adjust the idle mixture? I vote Holley but that's an argument like Ford vs Chevy....a neverending story Now I better go get into a FIRESUIT....:lol::lol::lol: |
Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!
Although there are Q-jet fans, 59% of the people here have decided not to use a Q-jet on their engines.
Of those people half use Holley and half use Edelbrock. Who would have thought? :mm: |

Fritz: I do understand what you mean but that was a response to someone claiming just how tuneable a Q-jet was. I just needed to address the fact that Holley has a lot more than just 2 or 4 A/F idle needles. Those same people couldn't adjust a Q-jet either. |

I think a Ford is a rolling disaster but I dont try to convert their drivers! To each his own. I really dont have a big preference in these choices...The only reason I chose Q-jet is because its whats on my trucks and the damn thing works good and my family has always been able to make em sing. But I find it hilarious that you just wont let the argument die! |
Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!
I voted holley because it is what works for me.

For those of you that know me.....I'm going to shut down my Holley business now. They are just not what I thought they were. |

You can see why there is so many opinions. Apparently, each of the three major carburetors work. Each has their following.

To be honest, I did not expect the evenness of the poll. I had assumed after 40 years, one of these carburetors would have been found superior.

I never had a Holley, ran Edelbrocks with no problems, but my trucks seem to run the best with the Quadrajets. They seem to run smoother, start easier, and idle better. Of course my trucks are pretty stock. If I was going to hop up my trucks I would go with an Edelbrock no questions asked.

Back in the day (70's) I use to have a Holley 4-banger on a 68 Dodge Polara w/ a 383 and a police pack. What power when those secondaries kicked it, wow.......but I still have nightmares thinking about rebuilding it. |

Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!
Edelbrock all day long....Have a Q-Jet on my shortbed, but once it goes, a 1406 will go on. Very simple for me to tune and rebuild.
Wont use Holley, bad history with me :) Smitty |
