The Torker II is designed for the 2500-6500 RPM range and is a single plane design.  IMO, for street/everyday use a better choice would be a dual plane like the Performer or even the Performer Air-Gap designed for idle-5500 RPM.

Hi Gino, Well, I really like my Edelbrock carb & manifold setup... but I doubt that the gas mileage is any better & maybe not as good as a good Q-jet setup. The key word is "good". Q-jet's are either great or they're junk. If you have a good one or know how to make it a good one, they're hard to beat for an all around street carb. It just seems that so many of them are not built right & end up running bad. My 2 cents, Don --------   Well, I'm glad this whole q-jet/edelbrock issue came up because I was originally thinking to swapping over to a edel 1405 and edel performer intake, which I was told was gonna improve my fuel economy, as well as help out in the power department, in comparison to my stock setup. So thinking fuel efficiency, would you guys recommend I rebuild my stock q-jet and keep my stock manifold over swapping over to the edel stuff? Buy the way, my q-jet is on my 1964 327 Elky. Thanks, Gino
