Re: IML: Edelbrock Carb for My '59

[roqinrl@xxxxxxx]

Maybe your experinces with Holleys is dated. In the last five years Holleys have become very dependable and don't leak at all. Edelbrocks can be good I hear but you can't beat a Carter on a mild street machine/cruiser.                   Just my experience after 35 years of racing and modifying and loving my Mopars.                                          Most of all this hobby is about great cars and great people. Have fun!

Funny thing is that the design of te Edelbrock carbs is very close to that of the carters. 
  
The Edelbrocks are very easy to work on, and quite trouble-free on the long run. Take good care in chosing a properly sized one, for normal cruising, a 600cfm will do usually, if you prefer a more aggressive driving style, a Performer 750, or even the AVS will be the better choice. The adjusting itself is not hard on any Edelbrock. 
  
I've seen a lot of trouble with Holleys (leaking), so I would avoid those.
