With nearly 75 years of development behind them, both Holley and Edelbrock have each created amazingly good, reliable four barrel carburetors that fit nearly any purpose you can imagine, but each style of carb has areas in which they excell.
While Holley is the recognized master of ultra performance and racing carburetion, the humble Edelbrock is far superior for mild street and cruiser style cars.
Here are the major differences between the two types of carbs and the reason we choose the Edelbrock every time for driver style cars.

Q-Jet, hands down the best street carb ever!

Remember back in the ‘80s when you could go to the junkyards and score big ‘ole 4-barrel Quadrajets under the hoods of big old Oldsmobile 455 powered monsters and 350 rockets, 400s and all kinds of stuff. Treasure hunting boneyards back in the day was something special.

I’ve had engines with Quadrajets that have not run in 25-30 years, fire right up, idle perfectly, & never leak a drop. Try that with a Holley & see what happens!

Edelbrock straight out of the box , no adjustment 600 on daily/light build sbc. 3 different cars, NEVER let me down.👍🏻 Special applications, then special carbs. I’m with you UT for reliability.

Edelbrock all the way once you figure out how to cure the lean condition just off idle which is where you do most of your driving. Metering rods, springs or jets are not the answer. The cure is you must restrict the size of the air bleeds on the outside of the primary boosters with 28-26 ga wire. This richens up the carb while it's running in the transfer slots. The stupid tuning manual does not mention this and the guys on the phone will never acknowledge it. This is how to make your Edelbrock run like EFI.

We all know Quadrajet is best.

So basically what your saying is, Holley is a better carb?... yea, we know lol

You nailed it, Tony. I agree 100%, especially with regard to the gaskets! For street use, the Edelbrock is the easy recommendation. Yes, easier to work on on the side of the road, but also less likely to need to be worked on on the side of the road.

I've used QuadraJet for decades.

I know the Holley very well and I can make them run smooth as silk.

I was born and raised believing Holley is the best. When I got my first classic car, I bought a Holley because that's how I was programed. The carburetor was plainly defective because it would barely idle even with the fuel screws out several turns. Also, the accelerator pump stopped working when it got warm as all the fuel would perc out of the circuit even with an insulator and the engine only running at 165°. Had to apply throttle ever so easy or it would backfire due to no accelerator pump. Hot starts were also extremely difficult.

I agree, my name is Holley too! I prefer the AVS2 for a nice daily/cruiser.

Hey Tony,

I agree 100% Edelbrock is the carb for putting it on a engine and closing the hood and will never have to play with it and the Holley are for Performance cars the ones your playing with all the time and have to babysit if they sat over the winter.

Excellent vidja, I'Ve been using Holley's for 50 years, recent convert to AVS-2 Edelbrockc on two tunnel ram small blocks, one a Blueprint strocker. I went from 450 Holley tunnel ram carbs, which required much tuning and a steap learning curve, not to mention special tools, to 2 500 Edelbrock T-R carbs. They required no tuning, and to qoute David Vizard, rivel fuel injection in total driveability. Mileage also jumped from 5 to 6.5!! I'm convinced, Tony 😊
