Edelbrock carb on a 1987 Camaro

Hey! I have a 1987 Camaro LT with a 350 v8. And I was wondering if I would be able to get an edelbrock carb (as I know they are well respected) on my car. I was looking at one like this:http://m.summitracing.com/parts/edl-9905?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAjwl7ieBRCK2rCtqcCS7jESJACZKQFKr3s6RfCQEozdZ26JYgoF9sEOB42HuaSPv6QFqKy_3xoCi23w_wcB

If not what would you guys recommend??

Without getting into an edelbrock vs anything debate that carb will work just fine for any 350 under 6000 rpms

Don't know where you read they were well respected, haha.

Anything that is properly maintained can be made to work though. But since you asked for a recommendation... *cough* Holley *cough*.

Hope you aint bought an edelbrock yet... Just saying..HOLLEY is no doubt if and or buts the best. PERIOD. Even a quadrajet would be better!

if you like constant tinkering with a carb, buy a holley. if you are more of a "set it and forget it" kinda guy get a edelbrock. or you could re build the q jet that came on it. properly tended to, they can be an impressive performer.
