I put a 68 quadrajet on my 400 that had a edelbrock on it. The car performed better with the quadrajet than the edelbrock. But that was just my experience. If me I would go holley or quadrajet....
I did the exact same thing. When I first bought our bird back in 2001 it had an Edelbrock. Then I bought a 68 Q-jet from Terry (which is now on my 67 LeMans) and the car ran ten times better. Two years ago when I bought the 67 LeMans it too had an Edelbrock on it. Pulled it off and put the Q-jet from the bird on it and the car ran MUCH better!
