Re: holley or Edelbrock

They each have there place. Race car, Holley all the way. Street/strip, the Edelbrock or Holley are great. Street truck? Q-jet. And if you really want to learn about carbs the Q-jet can work in a race car environment as well. But I like running the OEM steel fuel lines with no rubber under pressure. The Right Stuff makes a pump to carb line for the Edelbrock and Holley and Q-jets were both factory so you can run the reproduction OEM lines for those as well. But the single fuel bowl of the Edelbrock or Q-jet is better for lightly used vehicles. Especially for farm truck crap like I have the most of. Hard to get the secondaries open to refresh the fuel. Bottom line, Q-jet and learn how to tune it.
