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></BODY></HTML>
