<DIV>I have Edelbrock’s on three of my cars. I find the accelerator pumps go bad
rather fast. And for those that detest removing Holley pump diaphragms from the
bottom, well the linkage to change the accelerator pump on the Edelbrock is even
more frustrating. Sadly it is just the little cup on the end that goes bad but
Edelbrock only sells the whole accelerator pump with the stem etc. and it is
$15+, far more than those on a Holley. I believe there is a Marine version
and from what I’ve read that accelerator pump is “suppose” to last
longer.</DIV>

<DIV>If you have a fuel filter between the electric fuel pump and the carburetor
try replacing that. I know you said there is fuel to the carb, but was that
based on hearing the fuel pump run? I’ve had cars that ran a week or so
prior have the sediment in the fuel filter solidify because it was not
“churning” like it was with daily use.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">This post
got me thinking about the Edelbrock carbs. That statement says a lot as I have
always been a Holley fan. I was ready to pull the trigger on an Edelbrock AVS 2
carb. A lot going for it with the annular primary boosters etc. I then started
doing a little research on the carbs and found that several people were having
hot soak issues and fuel evaporation issues. Problems starting the engine if the
cars sat for a week or so. I am very disappointed if this is the case because
the claim is that the idle and midrange performance is almost as good as
EFI. Doesn’t seem to be as much of a problem if you are running an
electric fuel pump so that you can refill the bowls. My Tiger has a HP289 with a
Holley 715 cfm vacuum carb on it. The same carb that Ford used on the 68 Shelby
GT-350. Can’t imagine it running any better, but I thought that I would give the
Edelbrock a try on my 66 Mustang. With the Tiger having a smaller tighter engine
compartment I could see a hot soak problem occurring. Any
thoughts?-Brad</DIV></DIV>
