As this thread represents, enthusiasts have different experiences with the two carbs. HRL wants to use Ebrocks as fishing weights and others have good/reasonable experiences with them.

I like Fxrds, but they don't like me. My first car was a 61 Sunliner convertible, 390, 4 spd. I loved that car, but something was always breaking on me and I was working on it more than driving it. Owned a couple of other Fxrds, with the same result. Finally switched to GM's.

I put a new Holley on my 71 Monte Carlo - daily driver, because that's what everybody did and liked them. I couldn't get that carb to work for me ---leaked like a sieve, and just wouldn't run right ---for me. I switched to and Ebrock with electric chock and never looked back.

What works for me may not work for others, and visa-versa.
