Right out of the box the Ed seems better than the Hol and it has not even been set up yet...the throttle response is better than it ever was with the Holley...I kinda wonder if it was over carborated with the double pumper and all anyhow...It will be ready for the Round Up. I saw your other post, what happend to your carb...is some kind of carb flu for five windows doing around?

nothing serious. it was running great on the way to lucky's, however i stopped for gas on the way, and i think that's where the crap came from. keep a good filter on and you shouldn't have any problems. i have a decent one and still had small particles get past it and up to the carb. there was a lot more in the filter though. at least i was able to drive it home from suffer city with little problem(it only died once), i'm sure from past experience that if i had a holley on it, it would have had to go home on a hook. yeah i know, i could have disasembled the carb in the parking lot, but that's not my idea of fun. it's so much easier in the garage with a cooled off engine.
