RE: [Chevelle-List] Holley vs. Edelbrock

[Wurzbacher, Lance]

I pretty much agree with Andre's comments.  Although I have dialed in(tuned) Holleys in the past and they stayed tuned for a very long time.  One of the good points about a Holley is that they are infinitely tunable to the application. They are also very easy to work on when tuning in my opinion.  Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the Edelbrock carbs what used to be called Carter.  These are not as easy to tune or as flexible in my opinion.  Everyone will feel different about this of course.  I think it's pretty universal thought that Holleys make the most horsepower.   Lance -----Original Message----- From: Tigergutt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 1:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Holley vs. Edelbrock Lojac,   My exagerated opinion:   Holley: take it out of the box, install it, tune it, tune it, tune it, tune it, tune it, get the car running nearly well until the first five degree change in temperature, then tune it, tune it, tune it, tune it, tune it until it again runs great, fix some leaks, change the power valve get really pissed, go home and shout at your wife that you are tired of that old (new) sh*t, finally it will run perfect until the first temperature change.... start all over   Edelbrock:  take it out of the box, install it and start to use it. Well nearly, at least less tuning and easier tuning than a holley.   I think you will get more power out of a tuned Holley than a Edelbrock will ever make, but for a daily driver I would go for an Edelbrock.   I want underline that this is my opinion based on my experience, I am sure there are a million other opinions out there.   I have never tried one of them but what about a Demon carb ? Is'nt that like a "perfect" holley ??   guys please dont send bombs or viruses, as this is just my opinion   Andr�     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Lojac Sent: 30. januar 2002 20:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Holley vs. Edelbrock Ok, I would like to get some opinions from the list about the differences between Holley and Edelbrock carburators.  I see Holley everywhere, but I hear that they get damaged easily.  On the other hand there are a lot of products (i.e. NOS kits) that work with them, but don't say a thing about Edelbrock 4 barrels.  I have a 69 Chevelle SS 396 and I am in the market for a carburator!!!  It is a daily driver, but I am looking to rebuild the engine to give it a little more kick!!.  Please help....   Thanks, Lojac
