RE: Edelbrock vs Holley

In my opinion Edelbrock carburetors are excellent. I have run a lot of Holleys over the years with reasonable success but I've also had problems with neeedle/seats, floats, power valves, just about everything that can go wrong on a Holley I've had at least once. I've run three different E'brocks with absolutely no problems. The instruction booklet that comes with their carbs when purchased new are very helpful. Anyone with reasonable basic tech skills(like can you assemble your gas barbeque grill?)can tune them. And E'brock's technical service via phone is excellent.

I think a 750 Edelbrock will work very well on your 400 horse 390. You might also have to buy their "Strip-Kit" which is a tuning kit with a variety of step-up springs. metering rods & jets. But it's well worth it when tuning the carb to your specific engine/trans.

This thread, so far...
