edelbrock vs. Holley
Which is better? I have no idea which is better, I just want to get the best carb I can the first time instead of having to shel out more money and do it later.

Re: edelbrock vs. Holley
Usually have bad experiences with Holleys. We had a Summit carb we put on a 302 for Falcon, real shoddy.

If that carb is going on the application in your signature then it's way too big and the wrong type. You really need a 650ish vacuum secondary carb.

Re: edelbrock vs. Holley
If it were me I'd go edelbrock. Set it and forget it. It won't give the power and throttle response like a Holley. I'm not a fan of Holley for every day driving but for a strip car Id go predator
Then maybe Holley over edelbrock. Guess the question is what are your plans for the car..

Re: edelbrock vs. Holley
Then you can use the 750DP with enough converter or manual trans.
