Edelbrock first launched their Performer Series Carburetors over 25 years ago. Back then, the carburetors were a natural addition to the Edelbrock “Total Power Package”. The Total Power Package concept is to develop complementary products such as intakes and camshafts that are tested on both the dyno and real life to work great together. The goal is to take the guesswork out of adding performance to a motor.
Edelbrock carburetors are designed to be “felt” through increased acceleration (torque) and throttle response. While we might like to brag about some huge high-CFM carburetor we just bolted on, for most street applications, a lower CFM carburetor will just simply feel and run better.
According to the Summit Racing website, Edlebrock’s 600cfm electric choke 4-barrel carburetor has been reviewed 246 times with an overall rating of 4.8 (out of a 5.0 max ranking).
There are dozens of carburetor part numbers to chose from (HERE is the page to visit). And if you need help selecting the right model for your application, the California-based Tech Department is available at 800-416-8628 (Mon – Fri 8am to 5pm PST). Also be sure to check out the Edelbrock Forum for additional tech assistance.
Be sure to also purchase the Calibration Kits – really handy to have for your custom tunes.
Once your brand new carburetor is installed, Edelbrock Carburetors are easy to tune and usually don’t need to be removed from the engine. While the included Owner’s Manual is a great reference, we found the multiple videos to be especially helpful. There are nearly 20 different videos on the video page. Here is a great video to watch before you start:
Okay, we have to admit, Edlebrock Carburetors do make your engine look better (too bad we have to run an air cleaner). Remember, it’s Show and Go for just about any custom or resto vehicle.
In addition to high-polish aluminum Performer Series (the carburetor shown above), here are images of other models:
Thunder Series AVS®
Performer Series in Black Finish
Marine Series Carburetors
