This topic seems to come up every few months and is almost as religious as the Ford v. Chevy arguments. Personally, I'm a Holley fan, because they work for me and I understand them. I dunno about all you guys who have to re-tune and re-tune. I have two different cars, with two different Holleys (3310 & 1850), and the only time I ever have to re-tune them is when I'm working to get the last tenth at the dragstrip from my Chevelle. I drive the Camino in weather from 40 degrees to 90 degrees and I never have to re-adjust my Holley 1850. I wont say that it isn't slightly rich in the 90 degree weather, or slightly lean during the 40 degree weather, but it always starts and runs fine. Taking the time to set the timing, the idle, the idle mixture screws, and doing it all right takes about 15 minutes. Once you set it, you shouldn't have to re-visit the issue. With that said, I'd love to pick up an Edelbrock and play with one. However, you rarely see them for sale at swap meets. I think that is some sort of endorsement in itself. -Dave, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Nasta Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 4:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Holley vs. Edelbrock I also have an Edelbrock on my 69 El Camino. Bolted right on, started right up. John Nasta Old Car Network http://oldcarnetwork.com -----Original Message----- I agree with Andre. I think the Holley will produce better performance & is a better racing carb if/when it's tuned right. However the Edelbrock is a good bolt on low maintenance street carb for daily drivers. I have an Edelbrock on my 350 Malibu & I changed the jetting a little to work with my cam & then have left it alone. Starts every time & works great. My Opinion.
