Default quick carb question

I currently have a holley 600 cfm carb. A freind just gave me a 750 edelbrock for buffing his car out. My car has a holley street avenger manifold. My question is will the edelbrock fit the manifold without an adaptor?

Thanks.

Yes, both are squarebore carbs. Linkage and fuel lines will be different though.

Just because it will fit doesn't mean it's a good idea. If you are running a stock 350 motor the 750 more than likely will be too much carb. Also the 600 will give you better initial throttle response than the 750.

Bigger is not always better and in this case it will be worse.
