Many of us seem to agree that most of our problems stem from using the Offenhauser manifold which doesn't fit up to the Fenton worth a toot. Perhaps your Edelbrock is another story. I'd get better carbs than any of the old 1 bbl units regardless of the intake brand however. Think Carter/Weber 2 bbl. Either one will over-carburate your engine but dual C/W or a single Holley 390 are approx. the same CFM but dual carbs have These old girls work best below 4-4500 RPM so getting too much fuel to them is a problem IMO. Be sure to upgrade the ignition too. Let us know how your Edelbrock works out and send some pictures. We require pictures or will have to start charging for our idiotic opinions.  | | |
