I'm with Mr. E. My '59 has the rectangular recirculating heater. My core now leaks. I cannot find a replacement. I'm hoping that a local...
I'll chime in, since I mess with both. Both are quite capable. Every Edelbrock that I have bought has run better out of the box than any Holley...

I appreciate all of your guys' responses! Man, that's no joke. Even with a freshly rebuilt engine, this thing is a turd! But, with it new full...
