Not Ranked
I would definately not suggest the Edelbrock for out of the box performance. It is a decent carb once it is tuned in but it may take quite a bit of tinkering to get you there. I had one on a big block for a while. It took me a good couple months to get it tuned in to where I liked it. After that it ran fine until the acc. pump decided to act up.
Your other choices are Holley & Demon.
Holley 4150= It's really hard to go wrong here. They are set out of the box to run. You will of course have to set you idle mixture & choke.
A friend of mine is & has been running a street demon for about the last year on a SmBlock Chevy. He loves it. We set the Idle mixture, the choke on the first day & he has had no problems since. I also had a Speed Demon for a time. Really nice but IMO don't really look right in a Cobra.
The most important thing I have found is getting the correct size carb to begin with. If you do an internet search on Carburetor Size Calculator you might find this handy tool. I would post it but I don't have it with me right now. If you can't find it & are are interested PM me & I will look it up tonight when I get home.
