I have had an Edelbrock (Weber) 1404 carb on my 3.5L Rover V8 motor
since day one. I have never got the engine running "sweetly"
although I do have a mild cam. I have found a mechanic who
understands these things and is heavy into track, hot rod and such
type cars. He did a few things to my motor - found a few faults like
timing was off, carb was leaking air a bit. Now it runs much better
but he is saying I should replace my carb with a Holley - night and
day he maintains. He, and his high tech man (computers,chips,
whizbangs and that sort of new stuff) say no one runs Edelbrocks in
the stock/hot rod/track cars - no one! Now RPi in UK extol the
virtues of the Edelbrock which sells in UK as a Weber, but then they
sell them - not Holleys. Has anyone had both? and what difference
did you find? Please accept my thanks in advance for any replies
