I might send a pair of O-1850s to the parts bin, since they are the cheapest carbs that Holley makes. But I sure would not replace them with Edelbrock/Carters. A well prepared Holley is infinitely more tunable and has far more driveability and power potential. No question about it.

That's a big call.

Holley's 1850 is the cheapest for that reason, entry level 1 four barrel.

Hardly a comparison really for those who have played with AFBs.
You can perform virtually ANY mod to an AFB without taking the carb off the car and not lose a drop of fuel.

Personally I don't look at anything Holley unless it resembles a QFT.
