No one here is saying your an idiot. One thing you must realize here at Stovebolt.com everyone will share their opinions. So, if you don’t want to hear them don’t ask. There are thousands of Edlebrock carburetors out there that work just fine. Apparently you have had or have some. That’s good and I’m personally happy for you. What ever you choose is going to be your decision and hopefully you will be happily motoring down the Hiway in no time at all.
