There are several good Holley tuning books out there on the market. Chances are books are out there for Edelbrock, too. I am sure you can set up your carb to run right, if you had the right guide.
Knowledge and a throrough understanding of the carb functioning and systems is the key to setting up any carb properly.

I agree. The biggest probelm with carburetors these days is very few people know how to set them up correctly, it is getting to be a lost art. I am an "old" mechanic who has delt with carbs for more years than I want to remember. Each and every carb has it's advantages and disadvantages, it is really what you need from your vehicle. What I have found frustrating is there is a great deal of information on tuning Holley based carbs but really nothing on the Edelbrock series, if anyone is interested I have provided an extended tuning process in addition to the Edelbrock tuning guide on my website. When tuned properly carbs are fantastic, when not tuned right they are a frustrating pain.
