[Tigers] carburetor options

[Tom Witt]

A question to those of you who use the Edlebrock carburetor.  You indicate a long number of years and no issues. Have you had accelerator pump problems?  I’ve found the accelerator pump to decrease in function (or fail all together) in a short period of time.  Unlike the Holley diaphragm that cost $3-$4 the Edelbrock pump is $12-$15 and requires removing the top of the carburetor – including all the frustrating linkage gymnastics involved.  Otherwise, yes no leaky bowl gaskets, diaphragms etc. is a great reason to run the Edelbrock.

I have the same set-up as Erich. Set it up 25 years ago and have not had to touch it since.

  I too have a stock 260.  Mine is topped with a vintage Edelbrock F4B manifold and a 500 cfm Edelbrock carb with manual choke.
  Starts easy, runs smooth, no bogs, or flat spots or hesitation.

I need to purchase the intake manifold and a carburetor ( electric choke desirable, but not essential).  This will be a street machine, not for the track.  The more I look at catalogs, the more confused I get.
