Let's just say that Gary leans towards the Edelbrock!

 

Yes, they are right - Edelbrock over Holley. My preference is for carbs that can't leak due to a gasket or other fabric failure.

 

Havent worked her for money in a few years but,she is ready to go!!!
So true!!!! I have had the same Edelbrock on my welding truck for 15 years and not even had to touch it one time!!!

 

glad you are back stateside and merry Christmas. Looks like a couple solid projects lately I have been working on customer procjects and not my own. I will get back to them eventually.

 

Hello, JW! Glad to see you are still around.

 

yea im still around, just have been super busy. I do have a 67 f100 in the shop that I get to put in a coyote motor and 6 speed 6r80 trans

 

Sounds like a fun project.

 

A coyote engine sounds fun! I would love to have one

 

that seems to the the ls of ford. We have done several swaps at work and see 1-2 coyote cars a week at work.

 

Welcome home Okiewelder!!!
Have a merry Christmas love that Maverick, wish I had one. I've always thought they'd make a decent little hot rod with the 203 or 289....

 

Thanks MikeB 88! About 15 years ago l tryed to talk my wife into drag racing. We have 6 boys between us and l told her she could drive the Mav and the boys along with mysef could be the crew. Tryed for a few years before l finally realized it was my dream and not hers.

I gave up working on other peoples hotrods 25 years ago when l found a nice oil field guy that hired me to help him fab and repair his parts he sold. I got paid every day l worked. So much easier then keeping someones car for 6 months or longer to pay the bill they said they would pay before the work started!!!

 

Merry Christmas everyone ! I choose Holley , easier to tune.

 

Merry Christmas!

As for tuning a carb, I'm having a hard time seeing anything being easier than a Carter/Edelbrock. Loosen a screw, swivel a plate, and swap the rod and spring, which determines when and how much enrichment you get. Basically the equivalent to the Holley power valve, which requires removing the bowl, meaning dumping fuel, in order to change. Yeah, that's gotta be easier, cleaner, faster.

 

I havent tuned anything in years. l have not had a hotrod on the road in as long as l can remimber.
I have a Edelbrock tuning kit somewhere l just need to dig it out.
In my 65 mustang l had a double pumper holley and l remimber changing the jets and trying to read the plugs. I havent even tryed to start that up since 92 or 93

 

I need to dig it out one of these days
