should i swap carbs eddy to holley

Hulk... That sounds like one of my comments lol

If it's not then I say I haveto agree with it.

The brand name on the carb means nothing.

If the carb is flowing enough air to support your engines needs and if the carb is dailed in to your engine then you won't see much gain at all with diff brands.

I done testing myself, and theres been a few mags, and other shops to do the tests. Take a couple of holleys, a q-jet, an eddy, a barry grant, etc.. Tune them to the engine and you might see 5 HP diff in the carbs at most.

It all comes down to the right CFM carb, with the right tune (pump shot, jets, metering rods, power valve, step up spring, float setting, etc) for your engine

Honestly, I'd stick with the Edelbrock carb. It's a known that runs OK on your engine.

Check the float height and drop on the Edelbrock. Then check that the accelerator pump is set right. Edelbrock has all the information to set all of these.

If you put a kit into the 750 DBL that would be the best choice IMHO. I don't care for the throttle response with the Edelbrock carb. You have enough converter to utilize the dbl pumper.

Agreed -- for that combination a 4779 Holley would be my choice also.

I'd pick the 4779 also. It is a lot easier to fine tune than the Edel. carb. 750 CFM is where you want to be.

I never really tried to tune an edelbrock.... I always bought Holley, they were easier to mess with because most of it was external besides the jetting.... on a 750 DP what would you suggest for jetting? I have about 9 hg of vac in drive so what size power valve? It's been a while since i tuned a holley as i droves 5.0s the last 4 years ...
