well i fired up the 350 i am putting in my truck for the first time yesterday. i LOVE the sound of open headers !

the holly carb was leaking gas like a stuck pig though. i think i am going to buy a new carb. that holly is old and no electric choke. an edelbrock carb will fit on a holly intake right ??? want to make sure before i buy.

Yes, you should be able to bolt an Edelbrock to the same intake. Just make sure which intake you have, square bore or spread bore. They make adapters to bolt square bore to spread bore and vise versa, but a direct bolt-on makes a neater job. Best of luck.
