well here is the low down. Those edlebrock/carters are made by Weber USA. Weber USA builds junk. Weber of Italy is good.

What I said. The only reason you might hear bad things about holleys is because people run carbs that have NO idea how to maintain them or take care of them. A holley is a much more complex carb then a weber, so naturally its going to be harder to tune.

I must have looked right over your post in this thread saying that
And the only way to get a good Holley is to buy a new one. Holley rebuilts are junk
