[Classic Mustang] Re: Holley vs Edelbrock

Hey Dan -

I know you didn't mention this in your original post, but here's another option...

Even consider a Demon carb? They have a 650 with vacuum secondaries.
I have a Demon on a worked 351W and it's a great carb. IMO, better than the Edelbrock, and easier to work on than the Holley. I mated it to an AOD with relative ease.
