Hello, I am Larry with a 69 FB 351C 5 speed. After years of many different holleys, I finally bought a new edelbrock. This carb runs trouble free, does not have the response of a holley, but is great for driveability. The Cleveland loves the Holley double pumper, but it can be hard on drive line components, if you get my drift.:)

OK, I have the feeling that asking this is like trying to discuss religion
or baseball, but here goes anyway. Looking for the relative merits of a
Holley carb vs a comparable Edelbrock. This is for my '71 Mach, 351C
motor. I realize that Holleys had a reputation for blowing out power
valves, but their literature all seems to indicate they have "power valve
blowout protection" to remove this possibility now. The Holley strikes me
as easier to hook up to my existing tranny kickdown & throttle cable.
I had almost decided on the Holley (model 80457), but am rethinking this in
light of a trusted Mustang restorer last weekend telling me how little
trouble they have with Edelbrock vs Holleys.
Your thoughts (sans emotion, please)?
