Didn't one of those big investment groups buy Edelbrock out and move all of its Manufacuring overseas?

I'm curious why they wouldn't upgrade the existing platform. Anymore I prefer springs and metering rods to power valves. Add larger fuel capacity and removable venturi.

I believe they just move much of their operation out of California. I'm not sure if anything is being produced over seas -hope not.

Everything Edelbrock cost twice as much as everyone else's stuff.

Hope I didn't come off negative in my posts. It's always nice to see new products that support our hobby. Thanks for posting, I hadn't heard of these.

I look at that carburetor and think there's a lot of "I wouldn't have done it that way" about it.

Has anyone actually used one? Seen a bunch of bench reviews but nothing on a running motor showing benefits of all the adjustments that are there and how to optimize them.

How are they able to copy Holley in so many ways? Is functionality basically the same?

Reminds me of when the SV1 carbs were hot....I tried one....I never got mine to work real well. I liked it for a lot of reasons, but in the end, it didn't work well for me.

Compared to what? Speed master and Proform imported junk? It doesn't cost twice as much as Trick Flow or Indy.

Fuel pumps. Cams seem higher than most too imo. I can get Bullet to custom make one cheaper and a better lobe.😂 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-1720 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-m6903

So not "everything" they make, and it looks like a comparison between a USA pump and something imported? That would tell the tale.

A mopar youtuber claims his Holley source stated that Holley is gonna transition away from carburetors and focus on fuel injection only. Obviously with all the copycat Holley carbs the patent expired years ago. Edelbrock must be predicting this is the right time for a sorted out and updated Holley carburetor?


Keep old mopars alive.
