    Pretty or not makes no reason to keep it.
    Holley's run just as well, you just have to know what your doing. just like you do w/ an edelbrock
    Jets are very easily changed in a holley.
    As for older holley carbs, they can be kinda ugly. the new one my brother has on the shelf, looks as good as any Edelbrock

    "Pretty or not makes no reason to keep it."

    That is so true. For further proof, take a look at my website and see how ugly my Maverick is...

    just a question-have you ever thought about giving Edelbrock a call to their tech line and asking them to help you? they may have issues with this carby and could give you helpful info on how to fix it or maybe a replacement. just a thought, have a good day.
