Re: [Chevelle-list] Edlebrock carb

Hi Mark, I have a 406, so I went with the 750. It has much greater throttle 
response. Due to the square bore design the response is instant when 
compared to the old Q-jet. It does not have the lag when the secondaries are 
opening. The Edlebrocks in general are incredibly easy to work 
with(tuning/rebuilding). I am also getting an average of 2-3 mpg more than 
before. I haven't been able to make a timed run with it yet, but it "feels" 
faster. On top of that, it looks great under the hood. While I am sure the 
proper Holly or some other high buck carb would do better, for the average 
street guy like myself, it is hard to beat for the money. I have 2 600cfm 
Edlebrocks on other vehicles for around 10 yrs. now and have had absolutely 
no problems and have been very pleased in general. I know I sound like a 
salesman, but they have impressed me that much. Unless you're into serious 
competiton it is the best route to go, IMO. Good luck and enjoy!

Brian,
What difference has it made?  I'm thinking about making the switch too.
Thanks,

Hi guys(gals), I switched from a Q-jet to a 750 Edlebrock on my Chevelle. 
I love the difference it has made. I am however having a problem, when it 
has sat for awhile, usually overnight, I have to pump the heck out of it 
to get gas back to it to start. I have dealt with this on Q-jets with the 
seal on the filter to stop backflow, but I don't know what to do with the 
Edlebrock. The manual does not mention this. On some of my old trucks 
I've added an electric pump between the tank and the mech. pump. I hate 
to do this if I don't have to. Any suggestions?

 Thanks
