Dave: 

Vacuum or manual secondary's?  Have you checked to see if they are opening
All the way or at all, on the Edelbrock?  Have you tried rejeting the carb?

Ted, 
That's a good description of what I've got as far as the engine goes. I also

Have a 4 speed. All of this is in a 1964 Dodge Polara 500 convertible. I 
Replaced the Carter with the Edelbrock last fall and don't even remotely 
Like the performance compared to the Carter. With the Carter 4 bbl opened 
Up, the car really jumped. The place that put the carb on is your average 
Auto repair shop that probably felt that the carb was on and working. No 
Disrespect to the job they did in any way. I want more performance out of 
The car and didn't say it in a way that was totally understood. I don't want

To race the car, but when I have that urge to spend some of that expensive 
Gas quickly, I want to fell like I'm spending it fast!! 
 
BTW, thanks for all the replies to my question.

I ran a 750 on a 383 with a stock rebuild/mild cam. Stock manifolds too. Ran

Like a clock. Sweetest motor I've ever had. Had it in three different cars.
