Thread: Edelbrock or holley

Tweet

I have a 77 460 ford motor that has a edelbrock 750 CFM carb that seems to be a little rich,I have been told it might be too big of a carb for it so I am planning on getting a 650 CFM carb. What carb would be the easiest to tune,a holley or a edelbrock. Jeff

750 should not be too large for a 460. Actually, 800 is pretty much right for a street big block Ford. Maybe your carb needs some work, or different jets?

As to which is better, Holley or Edelbrock. Depends on who you talk to. Me, I think Edelbrocks are more dependable on the street, but that Holleys tend to be better on drag engines. Now, that is just me. I could be totally out in left field on that, and someone else could feel just the opposite.

I guess it boils down to what you personally have had better luck with. There are lots of other options too, like Demon, but I have never owned one, so I can't speak about them.

But, anyway, 750 is not too big, regardless of brand.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Ask any drag racer.

Bingo again.

all the previous info is in my opinion correct and i agree and if you change to the holly then i would rec' that you get acouple of extra power valves, you might need them

agreed, and i have also had the anti blow out valves go bad also, jmo, i just prefer the edllbrock over the holly for the street
