Now, with that said, tell us a little more about your motor....

year of the block
year of the heads
Compression ratio
Cam profile
Type of intake
Automatic or stick shift


All will play a factor in how your particular carb should be set up. However, I can tell you from experience that the Edelbrock carbs do not lend themselves to performance, but more to the "bolt on and forgetaboutit crowd".........I sell them (Holley, Edlebrock, Barry Grant, Dan Best, etc), and have seen far too many replaced with a generic (yet quite tunable) Holley 08777C (650 double pumper), tuned properly (usually on a chassis dyno), that make more power, with better reliability than the Edlebrock units............
