Basically a stock 360 with an RV cam for torque. Right now it's a 2bbl Holley, running rich, and cant be leaned out. I got my hands on a Weiand high rise 4 bbl manifold, and wondered would I be better off going with a Edelbrock 1406, or a Holley 600?
I've heard conflicting views, most people say if I go with the Edelbrock, it wont run right with the Weiand, I'd need a Performer manifold.
Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

for a mild motor, the small Eddy is a great choice. Once you get wilder with the cam & add headers, Holley becomes the clear choice.

Just wondering why you can't lean out the 2bbl? Same jets as any Holley IIRC.
I bought a 600 Holley accidently. Was on a 305 T/A. I was told it was a 390.
I hate Holleys! Give me a TQ anytime!
I would like to sell this carb.

To add, the Edelbrock 600 is a great little carb geared more for fuel economy, while the 600 Holley is more of a performance carburetor. I've had both, each equal as far as tuning.

I ran the Edelbrock and was not impressed. Could never get the tuning right. I'd vote for the Holley, but I've got to tell you, I love my Demon.

I'm just above sea level, I live in Myrtle beach.
I dont know a thing about dialing in a carb, and I dont really have a dependable mechanic, since I'm used to doing all my own work. Transmissions and carbs are the things I know nothing about. At least the edelbrock comes with a cd, maybe I'll need to start looking up how to dial a carb in.
