I know theres some car guys that know their stuff on HT, so I have a question.
Basically, I'm fed up with the quadrajunk that was in the truck when I got it. (its a 350 bored .40 over, headers, stock heads) Because it came off a mid 70s truck, so there are TONS of vaccum lines that aren't needed. Also, the q-jet isn't tuned right, and I'm done messin with it, so i'm ready to buy a new carb. (and eventually an intake.)
I'm stuck between an edelbrock performer 600 CFM w/ electric choke or a similar holley.
I've heard bad things about holleys, that they are in no way "bolt-on", and some parts are cheaply made and cause problems. On the other hand, I know they are very popular, and probably make better performers than the edelbrocks when properly tuned.
So my question is, is it worth the work of the holley, or should I just buy an edelbrock to bolt on and run?
and sorry for the long read
