[DeTomaso] Edelbrock carbs

[bill gaino]

I pulled the Holley this morning and the power valve diaphram  was NOT leaking. I blew out some holes and cleaned it up. Now it is back to running like a scalded dog again!  I run a big fuel filter.  Thanks Bill 1362

I had my Holley carb tuned just right when I left home, but when I got stuck in traffic for a few minutes it started running rich, then on the way home was surging. I had one of these Edelbrocks http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/1412/10002/-1 on a SBC that was perfect out of the box. I tempted to scrap the Holly DP and go with this. Any opinions out there?
