Thread: BG 6 Shooter vs Edelbrock Dual Quad?

Tweet

I have to agree with Eric on the sensible level. One good carb will outperform and be more suited to an engine that two or three carbs.

Now, that being said, I tend to run 2 or 3 carbs because I simply like the hot rod look, and put up with some premature plug replacement, black exhaust, etc. As soon as Edelbrock comes out with the proposed tripower manifold for the Vortec heads, my T will have one and the single four setup will be on Ebay. I also ran two 500 CFM Edelbrocks on an Offenhuaser manifold on my 302 for years. About twice the required flow, but I loved the look and the comments.

But if that is not your reasons for wanting one, your engine will perform better with one well matched carb, no question about it. I'm with you on the fuel injection..........I know it is the modern thing and much better, but I am too old to try to learn them now.

I on the other hand haven't owned a hotrod with out 2 4s on it in a lot of years. People are always telling me get just One and run it that way My first set of 2x4 was on my 57 Desoto hemi(which I wish I still had) that was in 63 so its been awhile since any of my hotrods ran anything but 2 4s. My curent 53 ford with 350+ runs real good on them
