Default Another carb / intake ????

Did some searching but didn't find this topic covered.

I am looking at this edelbrock set up from summit.

Looking to install under the stock small block hood of a 68. Has anyone had any experiance with this combo?

What kind of HP is your engine putting out? Is this for the street? Unless your going for the flash of dual quads, or your engine really needs that much carburation, I think you would get more for your money with a single four BBL like the Holly Street Avenger, and an Edelbrock, or Weiand, manifold and a low profile air cleaner to fit under your stock hood.

That was on my '73 when I bought it. It fit fine but I didn't like it so I sold it on Ebay and installed this:



Much more responsive now.

Looks like a neat setup! I wouldn't know if it would fit under a stock hood though...
