This post got me thinking about the Edelbrock carbs. That statement says =
a lot as I have always been a Holley fan. I was ready to pull the =
trigger on an Edelbrock AVS 2 carb. A lot going for it with the annular =
primary boosters etc. I then started doing a little research on the =
carbs and found that several people were having hot soak issues and fuel =
evaporation issues. Problems starting the engine if the cars sat for a =
week or so. I am very disappointed if this is the case because the claim =
is that the idle and midrange performance is almost as good as EFI. =
Doesn=E2=80=99t seem to be as much of a problem if you are running an =
electric fuel pump so that you can refill the bowls. My Tiger has a =
HP289 with a Holley 715 cfm vacuum carb on it. The same carb that Ford =
used on the 68 Shelby GT-350. Can=E2=80=99t imagine it running any =
better, but I thought that I would give the Edelbrock a try on my 66 =
Mustang. With the Tiger having a smaller tighter engine compartment I =
could see a hot soak problem occurring. Any thoughts?-Brad
