I was mainly wondering the the Edelbrock and Holley adapters are interchangeable, since I already have the Edelbrock one with my Edelbrock carb. I'll be installing a Holley soon and am wondering if I need to buy the Holley 20-7 adapter. They look very similar.

What Stump said, see if it will locate the height of the throttle pin correct (or close enough) for the throttle cable/kickdown slotted lever to be right and that the arc of the movement in its' travel will be suitable also live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I was wondering if someone has used the Eddy adapter on a holley carb. Guess I'll just have to see if it'll fit and worse case, I buy the holley one. No biggie. Thanks again.
