Carb question stock 340

The Holley is way more user friendly to tune (and learn to tune) than an afb/Avs style carburetor IMO. Your friend is correct in the “bolt on and go” aspect of the edlebrock though. If you are uninterested in learning how to tune and want to just slap one on (and don’t care about the power you’re loosing) you made a good choice. I’ll also add that the Holley could be dialed in to get the same mileage as the edlebrock. Just takes effort.
He told me the 750 would garner more power. Being my first go at restoring an older car I can’t speak from experience but having a bolt and go street friendly carb for getting it on the road while I learn to work on the 750 sounds like a ok compromise. Thank you for your advice.
