To see a legendary company such as Edelbrock produce a newly designed carburetor in the days of all of the EPA crap and the big push toward EVs is great so see. Well done Edelbrock!!!
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-(!
Came over from UTG to see the new Edelbrock carb. I have been wanting to replace my old Holley 750DP for a while. I will be looking closely at the Edelbrock when I buy a new one over the winter. I like a lot of the features and it seems like this carb was really well thought out. The bowl drain is cool, I like the bleed on the main body to put more air under the throttle blades and air bleeds.
I think Edelbrock realizes there are alot of people out there that still like the old school stuff or have tight budgets and aren't interested in all the fuel injection. I happen to be one of those people and carburetors like this are just the thing we like to see.
I,m sure a company of this size did their homework before investing millions in a new design of old Holley carbs . They are not unaware of the competetion market .would like to see what one does on my antique 484 FE Super Gas car , but am winning with a QFT 850 currently .would be a good idea to dump one on the market of a few Qualified Racers, let them try an 850 on diff cars to get the feedback , let the carb move around the country at diff states to see the response.
The guy who made the changes in design to this carburetor honestly needs a raise and recognition on the real side cause this is way innovation for the amount bang for buck
Just came over from Uncle Tony's Garage to see what he was getting all exited about, i can see why now. Edelbrock have put a lot of thought into this, using symmetrical parts (float bowls and metering blocks etc) to cut down on production costs which would allow them to invest in higher quality castings. Also being adjustable at all four corners will allow you to correct any AFR differences between cylinders caused by inconsistencies in flow through the manifold and heads. Anybody who can pick up on making the adjustability work should be able to get a fair gain in performance.
Here from the UTG camp following his lead and as always the information Tony shared was very valuable! Thanks you MCS, for the great video brother man, I'm very impressed and excited to bolt one of these on my Mopar! Last but not least...THANK YOU TO EDELBROCK!! The carburetor LIVES!!!
Would be interesting to see a engine dyno shootout of this series versus a Holley 4150 equivalent. Also, I gotta believe at some point a full on street version will be in the pipeline at a lower price point minus all the adjustability. Most of which isn't necessary for street driving. Very cool to see Edelbrock going to bat for traditional hot rodders.
What I like about this option is if you don't like the red labels, you can take them off and have the cast in Edelbrock name underneath so you can have it both ways!
The taller vent tubes prevents fuel sloshing out during rapid acceleration (drag strip). In the past (old bucks as myself), you connected a fuel line from one tube to the other. A "notch" was cut in the center of the hose for venting. Defeated air-flow though. This effectively " lengthens" the factory by length. The bowls are also effectiant in straight-line launches. Fuel does not "roll -over" the floats. let's not forget about the bent "whistles".
I had an Edelbrock 500cfm on a 66 mustang for 8 years and not once did I touch the thing. Even when I would store the car for months at a time, I turned the key and it would always fire right up. For reliability, you can’t beat an Edelbrock and to see this high performance carb is just awesome.
But this new carb is $800! You can get 2 AFB's for that money and you already know how reliable these AFB's are, I dont see any advantage in going to this very complicated carburetor when you can for half the money get a simpler and more reliable carb off the shelf!
$800 for a carb? you can spend half of that on another new carb and modify it all day and do much better for yourself. Not all of us have lots of $ an no brains whatsoever! @@MuscleCarSolutions
@@gkauto1959 it’s obvious you’re not a racer. It’s ok. $800 for a four circuit carb is unheard of. That’s a $1500 custom carb from most builders. Hang out with some folks that run a carb and race. They’ll school ya. 😉
I took a 72 nova into the 11 second bracket, drove the car to the racetrack, uncapped the exhaust, put on the slicks and put in the 110 leaded premium running a $400 new 800cfm AFB, that I personally ported and tuned to the point where it was great in stop and go traffic and was good for 7000 rpm upshifts. Tell me Im not a racer? I do this all on my own with nobody helping, engine, transmission and suspension mods by me alone. Yeah, I guess you must be someone special to know that about me! @@MuscleCarSolutions
The design of the venturi is so much more than just length but the over all size in diameter to transition area and flow characteristics are also enhanced
UTG semt me here. This was a very very good initial breakdown of a carb that should not exist in 2022. Thanks for whom ever decided to take that tract. I got super mild stuff, but I want one anyway.
Glad to see Edelbrock coming out with a new carb...Especially since Fuel Injection is the "Must Have" these days! Hope they engineered the throttle linkage to give proper geometry for overdrive transmissions that use a cable.
Proper geometry isn’t achieved with the throttle linkage as the heights vary based on the intake pad height. It’s achieved with an adjustable linkage adapter for the different types and connections.
Exactly right about EFI being the must have. My next door neighbor loves telling me about his EFI and how he won't ever smell like exhaust again. Meanwhile I do some math, found some GT40 heads for $400. Another $500 to swap my 2:78 rear end over to 3:55's. That leaves $300-400 left for mid-eye leaf springs and 620 1" lowering springs if I want to go that route. Yeah I'll pass on the EFI and conservatively say I'll shave 1 whole second off the quarter mile, or a whole hell of a lot faster stoplight to stoplight which is where I really drive.
@@MuscleCarSolutions Ok, then why does Edelbrock sell a $40 doo dad to "correct" the geometry for a 700R4 hook up on their AFBs? Attempt to sell I should say, I made mine using a junk TBI piece.
@@paulhare662 it’s a good question. Why does Holley offer an adapter to hook up to their carburetor(s)? Because it’s not about it hooking up to every single option out there (not possible). It’s picking the one for your application and then getting the line needed so it works.
@@paulhare662 because people like you who don't understand how to set it up properly will buy that doo dad and spend that extra money!! I'm absolutely not hating on you everyone has to learn and after 30yrs I'm still learning myself
Just for the record on your sticker vote let’s see if this makes sense to you. Leave the stickers on from the manufacturer and the 41% who don’t want them can take them off easy enough and a little carb cleaner for any residue left behind. That way most folks can be happy.
These look like an awesome carb, so many features and so tuneable! I like the stickers but I think there should be a cast in part number to more easily identify the carb going down the road when there's secondhand ones around. I'm sure we've all had the same experience trying to identify an old Holley that's had the choke horn removed. Got to go off clues and old school knowledge to work out what you're looking at..
I'm sent over to you by Uncle Tony, and he's nothing but one big compliment as to this new carb. If its good enough for Uncle Tony, its more than good enough for me. 'Nuff said.
I have done a ton of carburetor tuning in my day. With O2 censers along with vacuum gage. This thing looks like it will be a home run. Thanks edelbrock
Looking at all the adjustability in all tbe primary and secondary circuits, the overall high quality and a good price. Im thinking it maybe more like a grand slam.
Wow! It's amazing the amount of innovation and tuneability this carb has for the price! May this be as good or possibly better than fuel injection? I'm sure it will have great throttle response because of the lowered venturies. I'm no engineer, but i've dabbled in a few in my day.
Different application. Think of this primarily as a race carburetor. That’s where it will make it’s money when paired up with a good data logger to see the whole rpm range and decisions can be made on where more or less fuel is needed. I’m not sure how practical it would be for the average street car user.
Some issues. Air filters barley fit with the Holley float level adjusters. now the bowls are bigger and the carb longer so your current air filter won’t fit. And it’s taller. So I barely fit under the stock hood with one intake, the other intake doesn’t clear at all. Also when is $780-$850 cheap for anything? Quality looks like it’s there. Some good upgrades. But when you can get a swap meet Holley and $100 trick kit and it works as designed, it’s hard to beat a $200 carb.
I just watched this again this carb is sick its going to dominate the street and race guys for sure! so freakin cool all the adjustments. good work man!!!!!!
Japanese carbs like Mikuni-Solex and Hitachi have had air bleed jets to fine tune the circuit they control since the 60's. From lawn mowers, single cylinder utility engines, air cooled Wisconsin engines, motorcycles and vehicles like my buddy's 68 SS Camaro in 71. He paid $2,800 with 58k miles on it, one owner. But, he wanted to race it on the local 1/8th tracks. I had a 68 Charger stock 318 but enjoyed more room. Pulled two engines, installed one, got $250 cash plus the car. I will say this carb has everything I would need to adjust rich or lean issues at any RPM. Nice! ASE Master 78.
Love the edelbrock logo on the carb.ive got a 1969 gto and a 1969 road runner and have always love the Holly's 650 and 750 but this new edelbrock is insane.if u try one on a mopor 383 or 440 would like to know how well it compares to the holly..but still going to get a least one for the gto.thanks for the video.
this is stuff holley should have done a long time ago! there's nothing more frustrating then having to pull the bowls off and either drill holes or stuff wire in them to get a good tune or to keep from burning your eyes out!! but where are the part numbers and does just the sticker have the cfm rating? i think it's gonna be a hit
Wow!! I am thoroughly impressed! I have not seen this yet. I remember having to make my own TPS bracket for a 454SS years ago to get the trans to shift, that ability is great!
Oh wow, I've lived in the Raleigh area for going on 4 years now and I didn't realize Edelbrock was located only 45 minutes from me in Sanford.. Very cool. I've run a lot of different products of theirs over the years. Even had to call their customer service once back in the day and they were some of the most helpful and friendly people I've talked to at any company. Very cool. I love this place.
Any mention on Alcohol compatibility? From someone who has been using and hording Barry Grant carbs for years, this definitely looks like a game changer when it comes to tuneability. If they are as nice as they look, I will be changing/upgrading my game when these become available. Your review was very thorough and educational. Thank you.
No plans to make these E85 or alcohol compatible at this time. I’d imagine if they sell well, and I’m included to think they will, then I’m sure they will explore it. It’s quite a bit of changes to get there though and it’s really a pretty small market. I’d guess they’d be double the price. But time will ultimately tell what happens.
Very cool! There are some amazing channels out here with a different view and recipe. I’m certainly a subscriber to his work! Glad he sent you by and thanks for your kind words!
I like what they have done with that carb , always loved the look of the Holley carburetor's and Edelbrock took it to the next level, definitely plan on getting one . I'd like to see a side by side Dyno test between the Holley and Edelbrock carburetor's
It’s the new design venturi and boosters that are making the power for sure. Only know if a handful of tests so far but bigger power is what is being seen.
ive read a lot of comments on this site from people and they make a lot of sense but heres the thing the carb looks great and has tremendous potential so to speak and edelbrock is known for making top quality parts made in the USA but its still sitting on MCS work bench. the best way to know how good this carb really is it must go to the engine masters those guys are great, i have 40 years turning wrenches and im old school i need visual proof dont jump to conclusions hope this comment helps and by the way great job MCS
It won’t go to engine masters. That’s a program that’s sponsored/paid for by Holley. If you want to see the first dyno results, search for Riley’s Rebuilds. They got the 750 and dynoed on her dads 440.
Looks like a great carb , you won't have to do all the mods to a holley 5150 , way to go edelebrock , always enjoyed selling and using their products , I'd buy one !
Edelbrock has really come unto their own. Masters of the top end of ICE engines and other accessories. A true patriotic U.S. success story. I would like to see the labels come loose in the box. That way the proud owner can choose to slap 'em on the carb or on their tool box ! Also the specific part/model # should be cast into the body as well to help identify later as it becomes patinnad ! Cheers for a good GD review.
Man I've been telling everyone I know about this new carb and your video. Edelbrock is really trying to be the best carb manufacturer in the game and I'm not mad at it. This carb is a complete game changer. With it as tuneable as it is I wonder how well you can get it compared to fuel injection. I'm betting the power will obviously be there but the fuel economy won't be far behind either. I can't wait to get one of these to play with.
Then name the part number carburetor’s those features have? I won’t wait. You can’t name them because there aren’t any. Holley should be embarrassed that Edelbrock made a better street/race carburetor.
For the street guys yeah I can see there being complications. For the race guys that data log their track time, it’s a blessing. Especially at the price.
Holley 4150 is a line, and style of Carburetor. To ask for one part number to describe that is not possible, as there are many different part numbers that fall under the 4150 purvue. After the Holley held patent was removed, many similar carburetors with the same looks, similar features and method of function came on the market. The Aftermarket parts industry calls them "Holley Clones" Here we have it. Edelbrock copied the Holley.
Absolutely checks off 90% percent of the mandatory boxes for street/strip use! With a Digital DSO type vacuum gage and O2 sensor system, saves time and $$$$... without EFI... manual adjustments/ old school just entered into pro level on a budget for now! Not saying technology hasn't been great... I've been a hands on guy for over 43 years this will be fun again!
Great carb! My friend had an expensive "issue" with this new carb (750 cfm). The throttle wouldn't come back to idle, stayed at 3000rpm. After several on again and off again inspections it was discovered that the butterfly Torx screws were loose on the left primary bore. Be sure to check all eight screws just in case they MIGHT be loose. There was a lot of money and time spent going to the track before finding this little over site. JC
Something I notice looking at that "mustache" feature is that where it dips down corresponds with the notches in the middle of the float so that the fuel misses the float as it's coming into the bowl and that only fuel filling the bottom of the bowl will interact with the float and the fuel will only shut off when it's full as opposed to other things causing it to surge up and close. They did a lot of thinking on that bowl and float design, and not just the 45's at the corners of the float.
Like quick fuel stole Holleys design? They didn’t last long did they. Oh hold on…. Like proform stole holleys design? They didn’t last long either. Wait hold on. You mean Barry grant when they stole holleys design. They totally didn’t last long. Errr….. The patent ran out on that design 25+ years ago.
Wow....I am in awe. I am amazed at the tune ability of these carburetors. I was seriously considering going Fuel Injection on a 496 I'm building but I think I'll wait. I'll throw an old 750 on it until the 850s and 950s are available. Thanks for a great video.
EFI is a lot of work to change over from a car that came with a carb. A lot of people who bought a EFI unit has had so many problems they try and sell them or get so pissed they throw them in the junk.....lol
I just got a 750 and it was definitely not set up at the factory to bolt on. The floats were way high and it shot fuel out the vent tubes with 4psi of fuel pressure. So, not for a guy that wants bolt on. That being said, it is an awesome carb! Very nice and the quality is excellent.
That ends that. I had high hopes for that VR1 650. Especially since I saw that guy with the slant six throw it on out the box and it fired right up. He said it was cold outside, but it didn't look cold! So, I have another question then. I'm currently running an Edelbrock AVS2 650 electric choke. Infact I've been running Edelbrock carbs for some years, but I'm no expert like you are. I used to run the 1406s all the time. Yes, I can and have rebuilt a couple. But I don't do any special modifying. I just set the air mixture screws, fast idle and regular idle to my liking. I have a stock 350 rocket engine. The question is.....sometimes when it's cold out, my electric choke sticks when it closes at cold start up. Could I spray some WD40 on the linkage to keep it loose? or what should I do?@@MuscleCarSolutions
There's a lot of negative comments on this,but I think they have lost the point of this and that's it's great to see an American company putting in the time and money to develop and refine a design that has been around since the 60s. To dismiss this innovation is ignoring the hard work of your fellow Americans to bring another option to the table, in this day and age with everything happening in the world that takes ball's and faith that you can make a better product than the other guy, an really isn't that what America was founded on , the spirit of competition. This is coming from an Australian who loves America . It would not be possible to a new carburettor built and designed in my country let alone anywhere else on the planet! I would be proud to say that came out of my country! Please don't knock down the work of your fellow countrymen,be proud and grateful that people still have the passion to innovate.
It’s the small man syndrome. It’s easier to yell and scream and beat your chest and throw poop than actually learn something. It’s typical of car guys.
Gota hand it to Edelbrock for NOT going with the flow...& for realising that there r still alought of us out here that LIKE a moter with a carb & a distributor...!...! best news I have herd for the after market automotive industry hands down...!..!..Hats off to Vic & all the people that helped make this possable.....I just hope most (if not all) of it is made here in the states...?...! Way to go EDEIBROCK...!
I’m impressed! When I was kid a did tuning experiments with making 1/2 plastic spacers that fit between the carb body and baseplates on the ole holley dp’s. Always ran into lean out problems. The old carbs just couldn’t flow enough fuel for anything I built. I’m gonna consider buyin g one of these!
Came from UTG to watch this, I’ve owned both Holley and Edelbrock. Both iconic brands but I have yet to meet a single person who has reliability out of their Sniper EFI, even had shops say they’re junk. I’ve always liked Edelbrock better and that will continue as it seems Edelbrock continues to focus on carbs and Holley is apparently more focused on their EFI mess. Side note: I like the red stickers! Adds some nice flare under the hood and if you don’t like them atleast you can remove them and still have the casted branding.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CARB. I HAVE BEEN USING EDELBROCK AND CARTER CARBS FOR YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS WISHED A CARB LIKE THIS COULD EXIST AND NOW MY WISH HAS COME TRUE. I AM DEFINITLY GOING TO BUY ONE. I LIKE THE EDELBROCK DECALS AND HOPE THEY LEAVE THEM ON.
A true work of art & technology, What a beauty! I gotta have one. Edelbrock has always been known to build quality parts, looks like they've done it again. As far as the logo, The whole top end of my engine is Edelbrock, So flying the company brand name doesn't bother me a bit. Perhaps choose either the side, or the front. Branding both locations is a bit much.
Heard about this carb from UTG . I wasn’t an Edlebrock fan before but I might have to rethink it now. Pretty impressive. I have been a Demon fan because of there easy tuning and Reliability. But this carburetor seems to address those issues
Maybe its cuz i am so old, but Carbs are just cool. I just bought another motorcycle, and was considering a newer version of what i bought, with fuel injection, but i bought the 1st generation with carbs, and it runs flawless just like my old one did !
Come one Man. They did it, because they listened to costumers and engineers. Great stuff. I am getting the 650 because of the down leg boosters. Cheers. Logo good, as in red.
Well I tell ya. For the money and for the quality that carburetor is the cat's meow and my understanding about carburetors and the recommendations from the manufacturers has always been to install the carburetor right out of the box and don't tinker with it as it is adjusted from the factory. I have found this to be true on most carburetors and this carburetor is no exception. Of course as the carburetor enters the market and different people start fiddling with it there will be a lot of modifications but the features you show should cover the market for us folks who just want a good performance carburetor and of course all of the Holley shortcomings are addressed with this carburetor. The only thing that I would adjust on a new or rebuilt carburetor is the idle speed and I found that to be satisfactory for us common folks.
Oh boy. If you decide to not tune a carburetor to your engine, you’re leaving all the fun, horsepower and drivability on the table. A carburetor has no idea what it’s being bolted on to. That’s what we do is tell it how to operate based on all those factors that come into play. Give it the opportunity to really show you what it can do! Just because a carburetor might run right out of the box, doesn’t mean it’s RIGHT. In close to 40 years of tuning, I’ve never ran into a single carb that didn’t drive or perform better without any adjustment.
the fact that I can just bolt on a TPS is a game changer for me, it's about time someone realized people still want a good carb but with a simple ability to run modern transmissions...
@19:30 you mentioned taking fuel out with a smaller bleed. I believe a larger bleed would take fuel out...? Larger bleed would reduce venturi pull on fuel and would reduce it.
Me too. I grew up using holley 600's on my pickups. I bought a 76 f150 4x4 with a 390/c6 that has a edelbrock 600 on it. Ive granny driven it 3 times until i get the valves fixed but i'm giving even the old edelbrocks a chance.
Wow. Now I can finally put an Edelbrock on my 327 clone engine. That two-part Holly is a real pain. Every spring my dad would rebuild it for me. Yes I meant enough to admit that I don't know everything and carburetors along with electrical wiring cars or at my top of the I don't give a blank to blank list. For years my Dad tried to get me to go to elderbrock on that engine. I wouldn't do it because I want it when you pop the hood for it to look correct. Now I'm Edelbrock guy I've got one on my 68 CST that's bone stock except for the carburetor. Back in
Hopefully someday Edelbrock will make something along the lines of Holley's 4500 Series. I'm running an 1150 Dominated on my 598 in my Chevelle and if Edelbrock ever made something like that I'd give it a try.
I don’t think they’ve thought that far down the road yet. I’d guess it all depends on how well these are received. But I’d love to see the taller design on a 4500.
This will be my next carb for my 70 340 Challenger. It has an aggressive cam and headers. I have always used Carter AVS carbs. A 750 on it now. The only Holleys I have had success with is on my GTX 440-6. Not knocken Holleys. Just I understand Carters better. Thank you for the Video. And Thankyou Edelbrock for continued advancement of the carburetor.
Amazing for Edelbrock to bring this level of carburetor to us high performance and Racers with EFI at its newer levels too! I would buy one in a heartbeat...EFI has its benefits too but thank you EDELBROCK!!
The BG Race Demon had all those features in the 1990s. BTW a small fuel bowl controls fuel slosh better than a large bowl. That's why a Qjet had a small bowl for 30 years.
Those carbs had a couple of the same features, not all. And I’m not sure what kind of racing you’re into, but I don’t think carrying less fuel is going to help continue to make power. Especially with the high HP that engines make these days and the addition of ethanol enhanced fuels that require more more volume. Not really a fair comparison.
Ok a Holly done by Edelbrock !!! They have a different type of plastic an rubber that doesn't dissenergrate in new gas !!! I had finally just went to Edelbrock carbs over Holly's back when I was messing with engines !!! Could get around a year before going into them !!! They have the "Jet Plate Kit" on the side too ???
@@MuscleCarSolutions my current issue is I have a street fox mustang that is stroked Windsor with standalone and it will stay that way. I have a v6 new edge mustang that I want to drag only. I have an LS in which I'd efi or a bbf460 which I'd prob carb because I love old school and carbs. I ran them a good many years and get very tickled when people my age(43) or younger are scared of them. Haha Sadly it's about the same money starting from scratch. I guess it just boils down to preference unless you are carb established on your build.
Like a Holley yes but not a Holley. Not necessarily much to do with how good it is. A Holley is a crystal clear reflection of just how cool this level of hot rodding actually was and still is, only just to a lesser extent. I don't yet have Carters. I have Edelbrocks - older ones, I think they are great. But I don't expect them to be as cool like what I expect and what I get from my Holleys. So, --- the branding is not all that cool. And, so what. I think that that is just fine. I'm glad to see that Edelbrock decided to pick this up. Thank you Edelbrock.
@@MuscleCarSolutions I build custom Q-jets for high performance street and race, the more adjustable it is the better for me, for the guys that don’t know how to tune or are beginners I’m sure that these will be fairly close out of the box for most typical Chevy applications
@@DSRE535 I’m a huge fan of Qjets. It’s what I started on long ago. But it sure does take an expert to want to take the time to learn it and know how to tune them. Once dialed in though….great carburetors!

dats a bit outta my range.
Ouch.

Makes you wonder how long this will last until combustion engines go the way of the horse and they'll only be the wealthy.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned
from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the
Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas
station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel
pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in
the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems,
turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and
New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be
done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of
crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-(!
@Luna Berlin leaks
Look at that holley
"newly designed" hahahaha
Sure it makes some changes.. but it's a holley at heart.
Came over from UTG to see the new Edelbrock carb. I have been wanting to replace my old Holley 750DP for a while. I will be looking closely at the Edelbrock when I buy a new one over the winter. I like a lot of the features and it seems like this carb was really well thought out. The bowl drain is cool, I like the bleed on the main body to put more air under the throttle blades and air bleeds.
Pretty amazing carb, no doubt!
Same here
Beat me to it Uncle Tony's garage shouted you out!! Said he couldn't have done a better job himself on the breakdown of the carburetor.
UTG reference here too, but the algorithm brought me here without having to search. All hail the algorithm.
Me too. UTG was praising you guys
I think Edelbrock realizes there are alot of people out there that still like the old school stuff or have tight budgets and aren't interested in all the fuel injection. I happen to be one of those people and carburetors like this are just the thing we like to see.
Amen
I,m sure a company of this size did their homework before investing millions in a new design of old Holley carbs . They are not unaware of the competetion market .would like to see what one does on my antique 484 FE Super Gas car , but am winning with a QFT 850 currently .would be a good idea to dump one on the market of a few Qualified Racers, let them try an 850 on diff cars to get the feedback , let the carb move around the country at diff states to see the response.
The guy who made the changes in design to this carburetor honestly needs a raise and recognition on the real side cause this is way innovation for the amount bang for buck
Just came over from Uncle Tony's Garage to see what he was getting all exited about, i can see why now.
Edelbrock have put a lot of thought into this, using symmetrical parts (float bowls and metering blocks etc) to cut down on production costs which would allow them to invest in higher quality castings.
Also being adjustable at all four corners will allow you to correct any AFR differences between cylinders caused by inconsistencies in flow through the manifold and heads.
Anybody who can pick up on making the adjustability work should be able to get a fair gain in performance.
The possibilities are endless here. What a great carburetor. Thanks for stopping by!
Here from the UTG camp following his lead and as always the information Tony shared was very valuable! Thanks you MCS, for the great video brother man, I'm very impressed and excited to bolt one of these on my Mopar! Last but not least...THANK YOU TO EDELBROCK!! The carburetor LIVES!!!
Would be interesting to see a engine dyno shootout of this series versus a Holley 4150 equivalent.
Also, I gotta believe at some point a full on street version will be in the pipeline at a lower price point minus all the adjustability. Most of which isn't necessary for street driving.
Very cool to see Edelbrock going to bat for traditional hot rodders.
Let’s get the guys on engine masters to do it!
You can add a choke horn to it and vacuum secondaries without changing much else on the carburetor, I think.
I think you'll find that the adjustability will be just as important on street cars, as well as race cars, in the interest of economy and emissions
Yeah, I wish they would come up with a street version of this carb. My 351W is not for racing...
@@solarflare4259 Brother, I think with so much adjustability built into this carb, you could tune your 351W to absolute perfection
Thank you all for watching and THANK you for going to vote on the poll in the community tab!
What I like about this option is if you don't like the red labels, you can take them off and have the cast in Edelbrock name underneath so you can have it both ways!
@@Eric-wq4lj for sure! Either way, please go vote in the poll if you haven’t yet!
Already did! Thank you for your informative videos!
@@Eric-wq4lj really appreciate that! Thank you!
Definitely put the label on there so that will be no question who makes the carburetor nice piece
The taller vent tubes prevents fuel sloshing out during rapid acceleration (drag strip). In the past (old bucks as myself), you connected a fuel line from one tube to the other. A "notch" was cut in the center of the hose for venting. Defeated air-flow though. This effectively " lengthens" the factory by length. The bowls are also effectiant in straight-line launches. Fuel does not "roll -over" the floats. let's not forget about the bent "whistles".
had to do just that on my T wedge with 660s to stop slosh after the burnout many yrs ago .
I had an Edelbrock 500cfm on a 66 mustang for 8 years and not once did I touch the thing. Even when I would store the car for months at a time, I turned the key and it would always fire right up. For reliability, you can’t beat an Edelbrock and to see this high performance carb is just awesome.
But this new carb is $800! You can get 2 AFB's for that money and you already know how reliable these AFB's are, I dont see any advantage in going to this very complicated carburetor when you can for half the money get a simpler and more reliable carb off the shelf!
@gkauto1959 It’s not a street carburetor. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Two totally different applications.
$800 for a carb? you can spend half of that on another new carb and modify it all day and do much better for yourself. Not all of us have lots of $ an no brains whatsoever! @@MuscleCarSolutions
@@gkauto1959 it’s obvious you’re not a racer. It’s ok. $800 for a four circuit carb is unheard of. That’s a $1500 custom carb from most builders. Hang out with some folks that run a carb and race. They’ll school ya. 😉
I took a 72 nova into the 11 second bracket, drove the car to the racetrack, uncapped the exhaust, put on the slicks and put in the 110 leaded premium running a $400 new 800cfm AFB, that I personally ported and tuned to the point where it was great in stop and go traffic and was good for 7000 rpm upshifts. Tell me Im not a racer? I do this all on my own with nobody helping, engine, transmission and suspension mods by me alone. Yeah, I guess you must be someone special to know that about me!
@@MuscleCarSolutions
The design of the venturi is so much more than just length but the over all size in diameter to transition area and flow characteristics are also enhanced
This video could have easily been two hours long going over details like this. I’m sure I’m not done with content on this unique carburetor.
UTG semt me here. This was a very very good initial breakdown of a carb that should not exist in 2022. Thanks for whom ever decided to take that tract. I got super mild stuff, but I want one anyway.
Glad to see Edelbrock coming out with a new carb...Especially since Fuel Injection is the "Must Have" these days! Hope they engineered the throttle linkage to give proper geometry for overdrive transmissions that use a cable.
Proper geometry isn’t achieved with the throttle linkage as the heights vary based on the intake pad height. It’s achieved with an adjustable linkage adapter for the different types and connections.
Exactly right about EFI being the must have. My next door neighbor loves telling me about his EFI and how he won't ever smell like exhaust again. Meanwhile I do some math, found some GT40 heads for $400. Another $500 to swap my 2:78 rear end over to 3:55's. That leaves $300-400 left for mid-eye leaf springs and 620 1" lowering springs if I want to go that route. Yeah I'll pass on the EFI and conservatively say I'll shave 1 whole second off the quarter mile, or a whole hell of a lot faster stoplight to stoplight which is where I really drive.
@@MuscleCarSolutions Ok, then why does Edelbrock sell a $40 doo dad to "correct" the geometry for a 700R4 hook up on their AFBs? Attempt to sell I should say, I made mine using a junk TBI piece.
@@paulhare662 it’s a good question. Why does Holley offer an adapter to hook up to their carburetor(s)? Because it’s not about it hooking up to every single option out there (not possible). It’s picking the one for your application and then getting the line needed so it works.
@@paulhare662 because people like you who don't understand how to set it up properly will buy that doo dad and spend that extra money!! I'm absolutely not hating on you everyone has to learn and after 30yrs I'm still learning myself
Just for the record on your sticker vote let’s see if this makes sense to you. Leave the stickers on from the manufacturer and the 41% who don’t want them can take them off easy enough and a little carb cleaner for any residue left behind. That way most folks can be happy.
I know im late to the party but i vote that they leave the stickers off and if someone wants them on the carb then they can put them on theirself.
Great video MCS! Uncle Tony sent me and I'm glad he did! Liked and subbed!
These look like an awesome carb, so many features and so tuneable! I like the stickers but I think there should be a cast in part number to more easily identify the carb going down the road when there's secondhand ones around. I'm sure we've all had the same experience trying to identify an old Holley that's had the choke horn removed. Got to go off clues and old school knowledge to work out what you're looking at..
I'm sent over to you by Uncle Tony, and he's nothing but one big compliment as to this new carb. If its good enough for Uncle Tony, its more than good enough for me. 'Nuff said.
Glad I found your channel, I’m learning to tune a 455 olds with a lot of cam . Greatly appreciate your expertise.
Absolutely terrific break down vid. So much to take in. Edelbrock really upped their game with these features at this price point.
what do you think about using this carb on a daily driver 4x4 that sets outside in the winter.curious about cold temp start up
@@mrrustyshackleford62 it’s a race carburetor. Does your application need a no choke race carb?
I have done a ton of carburetor tuning in my day. With O2 censers along with vacuum gage. This thing looks like it will be a home run. Thanks edelbrock
Easily why I’m so excited to have this as a solution. Just amazing all the things that can be corrected with this.
Looking at all the adjustability in all tbe primary and secondary circuits, the overall high quality and a good price. Im thinking it maybe more like a grand slam.
Edelbrock said man we can't beat them, guess we are going to join them!
Wow! It's amazing the amount of innovation and tuneability this carb has for the price! May this be as good or possibly better than fuel injection? I'm sure it will have great throttle response because of the lowered venturies. I'm no engineer, but i've dabbled in a few in my day.
Different application. Think of this primarily as a race carburetor. That’s where it will make it’s money when paired up with a good data logger to see the whole rpm range and decisions can be made on where more or less fuel is needed. I’m not sure how practical it would be for the average street car user.
Some issues. Air filters barley fit with the Holley float level adjusters. now the bowls are bigger and the carb longer so your current air filter won’t fit. And it’s taller. So I barely fit under the stock hood with one intake, the other intake doesn’t clear at all.
Also when is $780-$850 cheap for anything?
Quality looks like it’s there.
Some good upgrades.
But when you can get a swap meet Holley and $100 trick kit and it works as designed, it’s hard to beat a $200 carb.
I just watched this again this carb is sick its going to dominate the street and race guys for sure! so freakin cool all the adjustments. good work man!!!!!!
It’s seriously one of the most complete, well thought out carburetors I’ve ever seen. Outside of a full custom race carb. Pretty amazing.
And thank you!!!!!!!
Japanese carbs like Mikuni-Solex and Hitachi have had air bleed jets to fine tune the circuit they control since the 60's. From lawn mowers, single cylinder utility engines, air cooled Wisconsin engines, motorcycles and vehicles like my buddy's 68 SS Camaro in 71. He paid $2,800 with 58k miles on it, one owner. But, he wanted to race it on the local 1/8th tracks. I had a 68 Charger stock 318 but enjoyed more room. Pulled two engines, installed one, got $250 cash plus the car.
I will say this carb has everything I would need to adjust rich or lean issues at any RPM.
Nice! ASE Master 78.
Love the edelbrock logo on the carb.ive got a 1969 gto and a 1969 road runner and have always love the Holly's 650 and 750 but this new edelbrock is insane.if u try one on a mopor 383 or 440 would like to know how well it compares to the holly..but still going to get a least one for the gto.thanks for the video.
Just came here from Uncle Tony's Garage. Great review!
this is stuff holley should have done a long time ago! there's nothing more frustrating then having to pull the bowls off and either drill holes or stuff wire in them to get a good tune or to keep from burning your eyes out!! but where are the part numbers and does just the sticker have the cfm rating? i think it's gonna be a hit
Wow!! I am thoroughly impressed! I have not seen this yet. I remember having to make my own TPS bracket for a 454SS years ago to get the trans to shift, that ability is great!
I would like to see a holley XP 750 vs this 750 on a 383 sbc out of box dyno test.
Oh wow, I've lived in the Raleigh area for going on 4 years now and I didn't realize Edelbrock was located only 45 minutes from me in Sanford.. Very cool. I've run a lot of different products of theirs over the years. Even had to call their customer service once back in the day and they were some of the most helpful and friendly people I've talked to at any company. Very cool. I love this place.
Any mention on Alcohol compatibility? From someone who has been using and hording Barry Grant carbs for years, this definitely looks like a game changer when it comes to tuneability. If they are as nice as they look, I will be changing/upgrading my game when these become available. Your review was very thorough and educational. Thank you.
No plans to make these E85 or alcohol compatible at this time. I’d imagine if they sell well, and I’m included to think they will, then I’m sure they will explore it. It’s quite a bit of changes to get there though and it’s really a pretty small market. I’d guess they’d be double the price. But time will ultimately tell what happens.
@@MuscleCarSolutions how about just plating whatever parts with whatever you need to to make them alcohol-compatible?
Uncle tony's garage sent me to check out your carb review. He was right, You did a great job on this one showing everything
Very cool! There are some amazing channels out here with a different view and recipe. I’m certainly a subscriber to his work! Glad he sent you by and thanks for your kind words!
I like what they have done with that carb , always loved the look of the Holley carburetor's and Edelbrock took it to the next level, definitely plan on getting one . I'd like to see a side by side Dyno test between the Holley and Edelbrock carburetor's
It’s the new design venturi and boosters that are making the power for sure. Only know if a handful of tests so far but bigger power is what is being seen.
ive read a lot of comments on this site from people and they make a lot of sense but heres the thing the carb looks great and has tremendous potential so to speak and edelbrock is known for making top quality parts made in the USA but its still sitting on MCS work bench. the best way to know how good this carb really is it must go to the engine masters those guys are great, i have 40 years turning wrenches and im old school i need visual proof dont jump to conclusions hope this comment helps and by the way great job MCS
It won’t go to engine masters. That’s a program that’s sponsored/paid for by Holley. If you want to see the first dyno results, search for Riley’s Rebuilds. They got the 750 and dynoed on her dads 440.
Looks like a great carb , you won't have to do all the mods to a holley 5150 , way to go edelebrock , always enjoyed selling and using their products , I'd buy one !
Edelbrock has really come unto their own. Masters of the top end of ICE engines and other accessories. A true patriotic U.S. success story. I would like to see the labels come loose in the box. That way the proud owner can choose to slap 'em on the carb or on their tool box ! Also the specific part/model # should be cast into the body as well to help identify later as it becomes patinnad ! Cheers for a good GD review.
That's a cool looking carburetor for sure I like the adjustable air bleeds just what I need for my 300 duration rat motor keep the videos coming
Yup. Those will keep the idle under control for those long duration cams for sure! Very trick.
Is the carb qualified for ethanol based gasoline e.g., E10? Not interested in E85 rants just wondering about regular pump gas E10.
Man I've been telling everyone I know about this new carb and your video. Edelbrock is really trying to be the best carb manufacturer in the game and I'm not mad at it. This carb is a complete game changer. With it as tuneable as it is I wonder how well you can get it compared to fuel injection. I'm betting the power will obviously be there but the fuel economy won't be far behind either. I can't wait to get one of these to play with.
Holley has had all these options for a long time
Then name the part number carburetor’s those features have? I won’t wait. You can’t name them because there aren’t any. Holley should be embarrassed that Edelbrock made a better street/race carburetor.
With all of these adjustments, I can have my car screwed up for years.
A great review of a quality leading edge product.
For the street guys yeah I can see there being complications. For the race guys that data log their track time, it’s a blessing. Especially at the price.
@@MuscleCarSolutions It is a home run for Edelbrock.
Time will tell, but boy what a great place to start! Can’t wait to get some driving time on them!
Holley 4150 is a line, and style of Carburetor. To ask for one part number to describe that is not possible, as there are many different part numbers that fall under the 4150 purvue. After the Holley held patent was removed, many similar carburetors with the same looks, similar features and method of function came on the market. The Aftermarket parts industry calls them "Holley Clones" Here we have it. Edelbrock copied the Holley.
Absolutely checks off 90% percent of the mandatory boxes for street/strip use! With a Digital DSO type vacuum gage and O2 sensor system, saves time and $$$$... without EFI... manual adjustments/ old school just entered into pro level on a budget for now! Not saying technology hasn't been great... I've been a hands on guy for over 43 years this will be fun again!
Long live the internal combustion engine.
Hear hear!
Great carb! My friend had an expensive "issue" with this new carb (750 cfm). The throttle wouldn't come back to idle, stayed at 3000rpm. After several on again and off again inspections it was discovered that the butterfly Torx screws were loose on the left primary bore. Be sure to check all eight screws just in case they MIGHT be loose. There was a lot of money and time spent going to the track before finding this little over site. JC
Something I notice looking at that "mustache" feature is that where it dips down corresponds with the notches in the middle of the float so that the fuel misses the float as it's coming into the bowl and that only fuel filling the bottom of the bowl will interact with the float and the fuel will only shut off when it's full as opposed to other things causing it to surge up and close. They did a lot of thinking on that bowl and float design, and not just the 45's at the corners of the float.
I love the carburetor. But it looks like they stole Holly's design. Just like kodak stole Polaroids instamatic design. It didn't last long🥺
Like quick fuel stole Holleys design? They didn’t last long did they. Oh hold on…. Like proform stole holleys design? They didn’t last long either. Wait hold on. You mean Barry grant when they stole holleys design. They totally didn’t last long. Errr….. The patent ran out on that design 25+ years ago.
Wow....I am in awe. I am amazed at the tune ability of these carburetors. I was seriously considering going Fuel Injection on a 496 I'm building but I think I'll wait. I'll throw an old 750 on it until the 850s and 950s are available. Thanks for a great video.
You've just bought a copy of a holley. Hope you can buy one the next time
What part number Holley is this a copy of?
EFI is a lot of work to change over from a car that came with a carb. A lot of people who bought a EFI unit has had so many problems they try and sell them or get so pissed they throw them in the junk.....lol
Still a knock off holley no matter how you slice the tuning shit🤣🤣🤣🤫
What part number Holley is this a knock off of?
I just got a 750 and it was definitely not set up at the factory to bolt on. The floats were way high and it shot fuel out the vent tubes with 4psi of fuel pressure. So, not for a guy that wants bolt on. That being said, it is an awesome carb! Very nice and the quality is excellent.
What would ever make anyone think there are no adjustments to be made and a carburetor is ready to go “right out of the box”?
Carburetor porn!
I’m in!!!
This is high quality carb porn!
🤣🤣👍
Yep,,, here from UTG. Got to love hot rod guys all sticking together
Question: Since it has no choke, how is it at cold starts in the winter weather at 20 degrees??
It’s a race carburetor. If you need a carb with a choke, get one. This one isn’t it.
Thanks for your reply@@MuscleCarSolutions
That ends that. I had high hopes for that VR1 650. Especially since I saw that guy with the slant six throw it on out the box and it fired right up. He said it was cold outside, but it didn't look cold! So, I have another question then. I'm currently running an Edelbrock AVS2 650 electric choke. Infact I've been running Edelbrock carbs for some years, but I'm no expert like you are. I used to run the 1406s all the time. Yes, I can and have rebuilt a couple. But I don't do any special modifying. I just set the air mixture screws, fast idle and regular idle to my liking. I have a stock 350 rocket engine. The question is.....sometimes when it's cold out, my electric choke sticks when it closes at cold start up. Could I spray some WD40 on the linkage to keep it loose? or what should I do?@@MuscleCarSolutions
Magnificent. Can't wait to see a 1100 cfm carb.
been waiting for something like this for 50 years...weeeellll done.....edelbrock
There's a lot of negative comments on this,but I think they have lost the point of this and that's it's great to see an American company putting in the time and money to develop and refine a design that has been around since the 60s. To dismiss this innovation is ignoring the hard work of your fellow Americans to bring another option to the table, in this day and age with everything happening in the world that takes ball's and faith that you can make a better product than the other guy, an really isn't that what America was founded on , the spirit of competition.
This is coming from an Australian who loves America .
It would not be possible to a new carburettor built and designed in my country let alone anywhere else on the planet!
I would be proud to say that came out of my country!
Please don't knock down the work of your fellow countrymen,be proud and grateful that people still have the passion to innovate.
It’s the small man syndrome. It’s easier to yell and scream and beat your chest and throw poop than actually learn something. It’s typical of car guys.
Bloody oath, too right!!
Gota hand it to Edelbrock for NOT going with the flow...& for realising that there r still alought of us out here that LIKE a moter with a carb & a distributor...!...! best news I have herd for the after market automotive industry hands down...!..!..Hats off to Vic & all the people that helped make this possable.....I just hope most (if not all) of it is made here in the states...?...! Way to go EDEIBROCK...!
AMEN!!! USA first!!!
I really like the red stickers especially with the cfm designation on the side. Makes tech a little easier for us dirt track guys
Been using Carter AFB for 40 yrs and
Love them . I personally like the red Edelbrock ID tag if it metal.
Are the power valve check ball inserts threaded?? Would realy like to see this Carb tuned on a Blow through turbo engine.
Man you pretty much sold me on that 4150. I just might switch back to a carburetor. Definitely watching the reviews.
I’m impressed! When I was kid a did tuning experiments with making 1/2 plastic spacers that fit between the carb body and baseplates on the ole holley dp’s. Always ran into lean out problems. The old carbs just couldn’t flow enough fuel for anything I built. I’m gonna consider buyin g one of these!
Came from UTG to watch this, I’ve owned both Holley and Edelbrock. Both iconic brands but I have yet to meet a single person who has reliability out of their Sniper EFI, even had shops say they’re junk.
I’ve always liked Edelbrock better and that will continue as it seems Edelbrock continues to focus on carbs and Holley is apparently more focused on their EFI mess.
Side note: I like the red stickers! Adds some nice flare under the hood and if you don’t like them atleast you can remove them and still have the casted branding.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CARB. I HAVE BEEN USING EDELBROCK AND CARTER CARBS FOR YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS WISHED A CARB LIKE THIS COULD EXIST AND NOW MY WISH HAS COME TRUE. I AM DEFINITLY GOING TO BUY ONE. I LIKE THE EDELBROCK DECALS AND HOPE THEY LEAVE THEM ON.
Cool! Please go vote in the poll! Very much appreciated!
@@MuscleCarSolutions Don't vote for "green People."
A true work of art & technology, What a beauty! I gotta have one. Edelbrock has always been known to build quality parts, looks like they've done it again. As far as the logo, The whole top end of my engine is Edelbrock, So flying the company brand name doesn't bother me a bit. Perhaps choose either the side, or the front. Branding both locations is a bit much.
Heard about this carb from UTG . I wasn’t an Edlebrock fan before but I might have to rethink it now. Pretty impressive. I have been a Demon fan because of there easy tuning and Reliability. But this carburetor seems to address those issues
I vote yes on the stickers
I'm glad someone still considered what the customer may actually want.
Well done edelbrock.
I'll probably get 2 or 3 of them.
just a tip, if you're measuring liquids (float bowl) and want to compare them, you could always weigh it. a lot more accurate and often simpler
Maybe its cuz i am so old, but Carbs are just cool. I just bought another motorcycle, and was considering a newer version of what i bought, with fuel injection, but i bought the 1st generation with carbs, and it runs flawless just like my old one did !
Come one Man. They did it, because they listened to costumers and engineers. Great stuff. I am getting the 650 because of the down leg boosters. Cheers. Logo good, as in red.
Well I tell ya. For the money and for the quality that carburetor is the cat's meow and my understanding about carburetors and the recommendations from the manufacturers has always been to install the carburetor right out of the box and don't tinker with it as it is adjusted from the factory. I have found this to be true on most carburetors and this carburetor is no exception. Of course as the carburetor enters the market and different people start fiddling with it there will be a lot of modifications but the features you show should cover the market for us folks who just want a good performance carburetor and of course all of the Holley shortcomings are addressed with this carburetor. The only thing that I would adjust on a new or rebuilt carburetor is the idle speed and I found that to be satisfactory for us common folks.
Oh boy. If you decide to not tune a carburetor to your engine, you’re leaving all the fun, horsepower and drivability on the table. A carburetor has no idea what it’s being bolted on to. That’s what we do is tell it how to operate based on all those factors that come into play. Give it the opportunity to really show you what it can do! Just because a carburetor might run right out of the box, doesn’t mean it’s RIGHT. In close to 40 years of tuning, I’ve never ran into a single carb that didn’t drive or perform better without any adjustment.
I always wondered why carbs were so roughly machined pieces . Wow this is exactly what I was thinking they should be
Nice video. I work at the plant that makes these. Glad to see a happy customer
the fact that I can just bolt on a TPS is a game changer for me, it's about time someone realized people still want a good carb but with a simple ability to run modern transmissions...
Agreed 100%
@19:30 you mentioned taking fuel out with a smaller bleed. I believe a larger bleed would take fuel out...? Larger bleed would reduce venturi pull on fuel and would reduce it.
I like the baffling in the bowls that's brilliant
What about the threads in the casting for the needle & Seat? Wouldn't take much to improve Holley in that Dept. Nice Carb
Great info vid! Never was an Edelbrock fan! Loved my Holley though, but this new design...... I want one!
Me too. I grew up using holley 600's on my pickups. I bought a 76 f150 4x4 with a 390/c6 that has a edelbrock 600 on it. Ive granny driven it 3 times until i get the valves fixed but i'm giving even the old edelbrocks a chance.
Well, how does it perform?
Super cool ; The mount flange is dominator size. So will the smaller CFM models be the regular size flange ? Or not ? Tdoc
They all have the dual mounting and the large base.
Wow. Now I can finally put an Edelbrock on my 327 clone engine. That two-part Holly is a real pain. Every spring my dad would rebuild it for me. Yes I meant enough to admit that I don't know everything and carburetors along with electrical wiring cars or at my top of the I don't give a blank to blank list. For years my Dad tried to get me to go to elderbrock on that engine. I wouldn't do it because I want it when you pop the hood for it to look correct. Now I'm Edelbrock guy I've got one on my 68 CST that's bone stock except for the carburetor. Back in
Now that's a good looking Carborator! Looking forward to seeing these installed on cars and how they do
You've been busy! Right on!
It was a very long night!
Hopefully someday Edelbrock will make something along the lines of Holley's 4500 Series. I'm running an 1150 Dominated on my 598 in my Chevelle and if Edelbrock ever made something like that I'd give it a try.
I don’t think they’ve thought that far down the road yet. I’d guess it all depends on how well these are received. But I’d love to see the taller design on a 4500.
I've been a Edelbrock fan since day one this only makes it better
It’s a ridiculously killer carb. Game changer for sure!
This will be my next carb for my 70 340 Challenger. It has an aggressive cam and headers. I have always used Carter AVS carbs. A 750 on it now. The only Holleys I have had success with is on my GTX 440-6. Not knocken Holleys. Just I understand Carters better. Thank you for the Video. And Thankyou Edelbrock for continued advancement of the carburetor.
Edelbrock knocked this one out of the park .
Amazing for Edelbrock to bring this level of carburetor to us high performance and Racers with EFI at its newer levels too! I would buy one in a heartbeat...EFI has its benefits too but thank you EDELBROCK!!
The BG Race Demon had all those features in the 1990s. BTW a small fuel bowl controls fuel slosh better than a large bowl. That's why a Qjet had a small bowl for 30 years.
Those carbs had a couple of the same features, not all. And I’m not sure what kind of racing you’re into, but I don’t think carrying less fuel is going to help continue to make power. Especially with the high HP that engines make these days and the addition of ethanol enhanced fuels that require more more volume. Not really a fair comparison.
Ok a Holly done by Edelbrock !!!
They have a different type of plastic an rubber that doesn't dissenergrate in new gas !!!
I had finally just went to Edelbrock carbs over Holly's back when I was messing with engines !!!
Could get around a year before going into them !!!
They have the "Jet Plate Kit" on the side too ???
R&D team spent a lot of time on this thing! Very nice carb!!
I think that's a fantastic carb. I'm impressed they put this much thought and resources into it when so many are efi focused. 👏
It’s encouraging to see that kind of time and money spent to develop it. Especially in todays world.
@@MuscleCarSolutions my current issue is I have a street fox mustang that is stroked Windsor with standalone and it will stay that way. I have a v6 new edge mustang that I want to drag only. I have an LS in which I'd efi or a bbf460 which I'd prob carb because I love old school and carbs. I ran them a good many years and get very tickled when people my age(43) or younger are scared of them. Haha
Sadly it's about the same money starting from scratch. I guess it just boils down to preference unless you are carb established on your build.
Hey there, great video. This is an awesome carbureator. I have this on my 540 stroker 1970 Chevelle. Do you have any videos of tuning.?
Like a Holley yes but not a Holley. Not necessarily much to do with how good it is. A Holley is a crystal clear reflection of just how cool this level of hot rodding actually was and still is, only just to a lesser extent. I don't yet have Carters. I have Edelbrocks - older ones, I think they are great. But I don't expect them to be as cool like what I expect and what I get from my Holleys. So, --- the branding is not all that cool. And, so what. I think that that is just fine. I'm glad to see that Edelbrock decided to pick this up. Thank you Edelbrock.
I found out about your channel from Uncle Tony's Garage and I'm glad I decided to check it out.. Looking forward to seeing more...
I gotta tell you the complete adjustability of the fuel and Air circuits is what is turning me on the most that’s extremely useful
Double edged sword. If you’ve got the data to make the right choices, it’ll be amazing. If not, could be rather frustrating!
@@MuscleCarSolutions I build custom Q-jets for high performance street and race, the more adjustable it is the better for me, for the guys that don’t know how to tune or are beginners I’m sure that these will be fairly close out of the box for most typical Chevy applications
@@DSRE535 I’m a huge fan of Qjets. It’s what I started on long ago. But it sure does take an expert to want to take the time to learn it and know how to tune them. Once dialed in though….great carburetors!
