holley or edelbrock
alright i have a holley 4160 carb and an edelbrock 1406 performer carb. i already have the edelbrock performer intake manifold on the 351w and the holley on top of it but i just recently came across the edelbrock. so what do you think i should use the holley or the edelbrock. i wanna know your stories on these carbs good or bad.

i have tried brand new 1406 and 670 street avenger. I like the holley hands down and actually sold the edelbrock. I do think the 4150 is a little better than the 4160 series though. A good rebuilt holley should be fine.

I would have to agree, "street" holley hands down, but when it comes to the mud and off road, i would never use a holley, in my opinion the floats on a holley are not stable enouph because of all the wiggle room inside the bowls to withstand the bumping and bouncing around, the edlebrock carb on the other hand sits it a more enclosed chamber thus not having any room to fall off and lose fuel....just my opinion thats all.

Just to even it out, I'm a fan of the Edelbrocks. Though I'd lose the automatic choke and make it a manual choke. There's my opinion.
Edelbrocks are simple and easy to rebuild. They're reliable too.

Holley or Edelbrock? Blondes or brunettes?
They're both good carbs. I run Edelbrocks on both my trucks. No trouble with them and they're easy to tune. My Mustang came with a Quick Fuel (Holley derivative) carb. It works fine too. It's more precise/twitchy when it comes to throttle response, although that's likely a function of the lighter car and hot rodded engine more than anything else.
