looking for opinion between Q-jet and Edelbrock carb. who is running which one and what is your opinion? I am just not happy with Q-jet although I did rebuild it, I put the performer intake on it and have a Edelbrock i can put on but decided to keep it original.would like to here from someone running the Edelbrock.
Last year I wanted to have my Holly rebuilt again, or replaced and the my 'guy' at the local NAPA place suggested a bolt on Edelbrock carb. I bought it for a very reasonable price, bolted it on, loaded it with fuel, and it started and ran smooth, which the Holly never really did. I think it was a good upgrade.
