Edelbrocks are poor quality clones of a Carter AFB. They make good paperweights if you use them right out of the box before they get installed on an engine. Once one's been run, the gasoline smell in a small office will give you headaches.

I must have stumbled across an outlier Edelbrock then! This would be a great learning opportunity for those of us who don't have a broad base of experience. Please start a thread, and share the pros/cons of Carter versus Edelbrock.
