Robert,
My 52 came with a Holley 650 on it..it ran OK when I got it but after 2 yrs settin on the shelf why I rebuilt the truck I put it on an all heck broke loose ...fuel leakin an such ..so I got a rebuild kit and replaced all the gaskets,power valve ..an such ..but after a month of frustration and cursin ...tryin my heart out to get it tuned properly I gave up and got a new Edelbrock carb followed Vics install CD ...hit the key an the ol 52 was purrin like a gem.
She runs well gets good mileage and so far has been a great carb.
So I am just a bit turned of on the Holleys ..a bud down the road that races dirt track bought my rebuilt Holley of me for a few bucks for parts an was happy with the purchase but he likes to tinker...lol
So my review of ease of tuning and general streetabilty ...I would not hesitate to go with another Edelbrock.
just my 2 pennies.
