what carb is better and why

[mud.man.rj]

The q jet has smaller primarys so will get better fuel mileage but the Edelbrock will have better power (torque) on bottom end, only thing is most Edelbrocks have the square flange same as a Holley so the Q jet won't bolt on the intake without a carb adapter plate, which is fine but more money. I work on "all" carbs and prefer the Edelbrock because of more torque but prob 1-2 mpg less fuel economy, I find them the simplest carb to work on, question is why not find someone knowledgeable to have a look at your Edelbrock first, may only be a simple accelerator pump adjustment, as in richer to clear it up. Worth a shot.
