I suppose it could be the fuel pump or something but it ran decent until I started messing with the settings on the Edelbrock. Was hoping that the Holleys were easier to tune but apparently they all have their good points and bad points. The Barry Grants are new but have heard some good things about them and seen them in use on some of the "tuner" shows on Discovery and TLC. I used to be a Q-Jet fan myself so maybe I will just return to using those carbs, at least for my Skylark and Corvette. Time will tell I suppose. Any more tips, ideas or secrets on these carbs keep em comin. Steve

Make no mistake, those 'tuner' shows get paid for the products they use and display. They use Grants not necessarily because they are better but because they are where the money is.
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.
