The difference is the edel is a vacuum 2nd carb and only mildly tune able.
The holley either in vacuum 2nd (street) or double pumper (street/strip)
is you can tune everything on it..
The q-jet is in the same boat as the edel.. as far as user tuning but has tiny primary bores for crisp throttle response and flipp'n huge 2nd's..
and when tuned correctly will run as good as the holley . most times better..
Holley claim to fame is K.I.S.S. and user changeable parts to tune it to your app.
Think of it this way, your shower head the q jet is the fine mist, the holley is the thick streams..
holley dumps the fuel, the edel and q-jet meter it..
