[@Ausblack]

Makes you wonder how long this will last until combustion engines go the way of the horse and they'll only be the wealthy.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-(!

"newly designed" hahahaha Sure it makes some changes.. but it's a holley at heart.

[@1320quick]

Came over from UTG to see the new Edelbrock carb. I have been wanting to replace my old Holley 750DP for a while. I will be looking closely at the Edelbrock when I buy a new one over the winter. I like a lot of the features and it seems like this carb was really well thought out. The bowl drain is cool, I like the bleed on the main body to put more air under the throttle blades and air bleeds.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Pretty amazing carb, no doubt!

[@docsridingadventures2880]

[@BPattB]

Beat me to it Uncle Tony's garage shouted you out!! Said he couldn't have done a better job himself on the breakdown of the carburetor.

[@GTOFERN]

Me too. UTG was praising you guys

[@stephensaasen8589]

I think Edelbrock realizes there are alot of people out there that still like the old school stuff or have tight budgets and aren't interested in all the fuel injection. I happen to be one of those people and carburetors like this are just the thing we like to see.

[@Warrior-hp5hv]

Amen

[@leeroymeadows5566]

I,m sure a company of this size did their homework before investing millions in a new design of old Holley carbs . They are not unaware of the competetion market .would like to see what one does on my antique 484 FE Super Gas car , but am winning with a QFT 850 currently .would be a good idea to dump one on the market of a few Qualified Racers, let them try an 850 on diff cars to get the feedback , let the carb move around the country at diff states to see the response.

[@MidnightOilsRestoration]

Here from the UTG camp following his lead and as always the information Tony shared was very valuable! Thanks you MCS, for the great video brother man, I'm very impressed and excited to bolt one of these on my Mopar! Last but not least...THANK YOU TO EDELBROCK!! The carburetor LIVES!!!

[@jayslpstapes519]

The guy who made the changes in design to this carburetor honestly needs a raise and recognition on the real side cause this is way innovation for the amount bang for buck

[@rompa_stompa8736]

Just came over from Uncle Tony's Garage to see what he was getting all exited about, i can see why now. Edelbrock have put a lot of thought into this, using symmetrical parts (float bowls and metering blocks etc) to cut down on production costs which would allow them to invest in higher quality castings. Also being adjustable at all four corners will allow you to correct any AFR differences between cylinders caused by inconsistencies in flow through the manifold and heads. Anybody who can pick up on making the adjustability work should be able to get a fair gain in performance.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

The possibilities are endless here. What a great carburetor. Thanks for stopping by!

[@msh6865]

Would be interesting to see a engine dyno shootout of this series versus a Holley 4150 equivalent. Also, I gotta believe at some point a full on street version will be in the pipeline at a lower price point minus all the adjustability. Most of which isn't necessary for street driving. Very cool to see Edelbrock going to bat for traditional hot rodders.

[@chrisw5837]

Let’s get the guys on engine masters to do it!

[@exploranator]

You can add a choke horn to it and vacuum secondaries without changing much else on the carburetor, I think.

[@johnk1532]

I think you'll find that the adjustability will be just as important on street cars, as well as race cars, in the interest of economy and emissions

[@solarflare4259]

Yeah, I wish they would come up with a street version of this carb. My 351W is not for racing...

[@johnk1532]

Absolutely terrific break down vid. So much to take in. Edelbrock really upped their game with these features at this price point.

[@OmarRamirezGalaxie]

I had an Edelbrock 500cfm on a 66 mustang for 8 years and not once did I touch the thing. Even when I would store the car for months at a time, I turned the key and it would always fire right up. For reliability, you can’t beat an Edelbrock and to see this high performance carb is just awesome.

[@gkauto1959]

But this new carb is $800! You can get 2 AFB's for that money and you already know how reliable these AFB's are, I dont see any advantage in going to this very complicated carburetor when you can for half the money get a simpler and more reliable carb off the shelf!

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@gkauto1959 It’s not a street carburetor. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Two totally different applications.

[@gkauto1959]

$800 for a carb? you can spend half of that on another new carb and modify it all day and do much better for yourself. Not all of us have lots of $ an no brains whatsoever! @@MuscleCarSolutions

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@@gkauto1959 it’s obvious you’re not a racer. It’s ok. $800 for a four circuit carb is unheard of. That’s a $1500 custom carb from most builders. Hang out with some folks that run a carb and race. They’ll school ya. 😉

[@gkauto1959]

I took a 72 nova into the 11 second bracket, drove the car to the racetrack, uncapped the exhaust, put on the slicks and put in the 110 leaded premium running a $400 new 800cfm AFB, that I personally ported and tuned to the point where it was great in stop and go traffic and was good for 7000 rpm upshifts.

Edelbrock said man we can't beat them, guess we are going to join them!

[@stuartcookie133]

Glad to see Edelbrock coming out with a new carb...Especially since Fuel Injection is the "Must Have" these days! Hope they engineered the throttle linkage to give proper geometry for overdrive transmissions that use a cable.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Proper geometry isn’t achieved with the throttle linkage as the heights vary based on the intake pad height. It’s achieved with an adjustable linkage adapter for the different types and connections.

[@BPattB]

Exactly right about EFI being the must have. My next door neighbor loves telling me about his EFI and how he won't ever smell like exhaust again. Meanwhile I do some math, found some GT40 heads for $400. Another $500 to swap my 2:78 rear end over to 3:55's. That leaves $300-400 left for mid-eye leaf springs and 620 1" lowering springs if I want to go that route. Yeah I'll pass on the EFI and conservatively say I'll shave 1 whole second off the quarter mile, or a whole hell of a lot faster stoplight to stoplight which is where I really drive.

[@paulhare662]

@@MuscleCarSolutions Ok, then why does Edelbrock sell a $40 doo dad to "correct" the geometry for a 700R4 hook up on their AFBs? Attempt to sell I should say, I made mine using a junk TBI piece.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@@paulhare662 it’s a good question. Why does Holley offer an adapter to hook up to their carburetor(s)? Because it’s not about it hooking up to every single option out there (not possible). It’s picking the one for your application and then getting the line needed so it works.

[@cudaclan]

The taller vent tubes prevents fuel sloshing out during rapid acceleration (drag strip). In the past (old bucks as myself), you connected a fuel line from one tube to the other. A "notch" was cut in the center of the hose for venting. Defeated air-flow though. This effectively " lengthens" the factory by length. The bowls are also effectiant in straight-line launches. Fuel does not "roll -over" the floats. let's not forget about the bent "whistles".

[@leeroymeadows5566]

had to do just that on my T wedge with 660s to stop slosh after the burnout many yrs ago .

[@premiermarketingco]

These look like an awesome carb, so many features and so tuneable! I like the stickers but I think there should be a cast in part number to more easily identify the carb going down the road when there's secondhand ones around. I'm sure we've all had the same experience trying to identify an old Holley that's had the choke horn removed. Got to go off clues and old school knowledge to work out what you're looking at..

[@fastcars1173]

Wow!! I am thoroughly impressed! I have not seen this yet. I remember having to make my own TPS bracket for a 454SS years ago to get the trans to shift, that ability is great!

[@rtkl13]

The design of the venturi is so much more than just length but the over all size in diameter to transition area and flow characteristics are also enhanced

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

This video could have easily been two hours long going over details like this. I’m sure I’m not done with content on this unique carburetor.

[@blackheart30518]

Just for the record on your sticker vote let’s see if this makes sense to you. Leave the stickers on from the manufacturer and the 41% who don’t want them can take them off easy enough and a little carb cleaner for any residue left behind. That way most folks can be happy.

[@BillyLintzenich-wf7sk]

I know im late to the party but i vote that they leave the stickers off and if someone wants them on the carb then they can put them on theirself.

[@markcarter78]

I have done a ton of carburetor tuning in my day. With O2 censers along with vacuum gage. This thing looks like it will be a home run. Thanks edelbrock

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Easily why I’m so excited to have this as a solution. Just amazing all the things that can be corrected with this.

[@michaelmurphy6869]

Looking at all the adjustability in all tbe primary and secondary circuits, the overall high quality and a good price. Im thinking it maybe more like a grand slam.

[@deankay4434]

Japanese carbs like Mikuni-Solex and Hitachi have had air bleed jets to fine tune the circuit they control since the 60's. From lawn mowers, single cylinder utility engines, air cooled Wisconsin engines, motorcycles and vehicles like my buddy's 68 SS Camaro in 71. He paid $2,800 with 58k miles on it, one owner. But, he wanted to race it on the local 1/8th tracks. I had a 68 Charger stock 318 but enjoyed more room. Pulled two engines, installed one, got $250 cash plus the car. I will say this carb has everything I would need to adjust rich or lean issues at any RPM. Nice! ASE Master 78.

[@davidholcomb9961]

Wow! It's amazing the amount of innovation and tuneability this carb has for the price! May this be as good or possibly better than fuel injection? I'm sure it will have great throttle response because of the lowered venturies. I'm no engineer, but i've dabbled in a few in my day.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Different application. Think of this primarily as a race carburetor. That’s where it will make it’s money when paired up with a good data logger to see the whole rpm range and decisions can be made on where more or less fuel is needed. I’m not sure how practical it would be for the average street car user.

[@dbeaumontresident847]

this is stuff holley should have done a long time ago! there's nothing more frustrating then having to pull the bowls off and either drill holes or stuff wire in them to get a good tune or to keep from burning your eyes out!! but where are the part numbers and does just the sticker have the cfm rating? i think it's gonna be a hit

[@DavidB7474]

Some issues. Air filters barley fit with the Holley float level adjusters. now the bowls are bigger and the carb longer so your current air filter won’t fit. And it’s taller. So I barely fit under the stock hood with one intake, the other intake doesn’t clear at all. Also when is $780-$850 cheap for anything? Quality looks like it’s there. Some good upgrades. But when you can get a swap meet Holley and $100 trick kit and it works as designed, it’s hard to beat a $200 carb.

Edelbrock has really come unto their own. Masters of the top end of ICE engines and other accessories. A true patriotic U.S. success story. I would like to see the labels come loose in the box.

If they are as nice as they look, I will be changing/upgrading my game when these become available. Your review was very thorough and educational. Thank you.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

No plans to make these E85 or alcohol compatible at this time. I’d imagine if they sell well, and I’m included to think they will, then I’m sure they will explore it. It’s quite a bit of changes to get there though and it’s really a pretty small market. I’d guess they’d be double the price. But time will ultimately tell what happens.

Great carb! My friend had an expensive "issue" with this new carb (750 cfm). The throttle wouldn't come back to idle, stayed at 3000rpm. After several on again and off again inspections it was discovered that the butterfly Torx screws were loose on the left primary bore. Be sure to check all eight screws just in case they MIGHT be loose. There was a lot of money and time spent going to the track before finding this little over site. JC

Holley 4150 is a line, and style of Carburetor. To ask for one part number to describe that is not possible, as there are many different part numbers that fall under the 4150 purvue. After the Holley held patent was removed, many similar carburetors with the same looks, similar features and method of function came on the market. The Aftermarket parts industry calls them "Holley Clones" Here we have it. Edelbrock copied the Holley.

To dismiss this innovation is ignoring the hard work of your fellow Americans to bring another option to the table, in this day and age with everything happening in the world that takes ball's and faith that you can make a better product than the other guy, an really isn't that what America was founded on , the spirit of competition. This is coming from an Australian who loves America . It would not be possible to a new carburettor built and designed in my country let alone anywhere else on the planet!

[@billywird]

Well I tell ya. For the money and for the quality that carburetor is the cat's meow and my understanding about carburetors and the recommendations from the manufacturers has always been to install the carburetor right out of the box and don't tinker with it as it is adjusted from the factory. I have found this to be true on most carburetors and this carburetor is no exception. Of course as the carburetor enters the market and different people start fiddling with it there will be a lot of modifications but the features you show should cover the market for us folks who just want a good performance carburetor and of course all of the Holley shortcomings are addressed with this carburetor. The only thing that I would adjust on a new or rebuilt carburetor is the idle speed and I found that to be satisfactory for us common folks.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Oh boy. If you decide to not tune a carburetor to your engine, you’re leaving all the fun, horsepower and drivability on the table. A carburetor has no idea what it’s being bolted on to. That’s what we do is tell it how to operate based on all those factors that come into play. Give it the opportunity to really show you what it can do! Just because a carburetor might run right out of the box, doesn’t mean it’s RIGHT. In close to 40 years of tuning, I’ve never ran into a single carb that didn’t drive or perform better without any adjustment.

[@MsKatjie]

Come one Man. They did it, because they listened to costumers and engineers. Great stuff. I am getting the 650 because of the down leg boosters. Cheers. Logo good, as in red.

I found out about your channel from Uncle Tony's Garage and I'm glad I decided to check it out.. Looking forward to seeing more...

[@skinnytvw2779]

been waiting for something like this for 50 years...weeeellll done.....edelbrock

[@dustinandersen1405]

I really like the red stickers especially with the cfm designation on the side. Makes tech a little easier for us dirt track guys

[@jaymehines3193]

Amazing for Edelbrock to bring this level of carburetor to us high performance and Racers with EFI at its newer levels too! I would buy one in a heartbeat...EFI has its benefits too but thank you EDELBROCK!!

[@optimusprimer4392]

I've been a Edelbrock fan since day one this only makes it better

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

It’s a ridiculously killer carb. Game changer for sure!

[@modificationnation73]

I just got a 750 and it was definitely not set up at the factory to bolt on. The floats were way high and it shot fuel out the vent tubes with 4psi of fuel pressure. So, not for a guy that wants bolt on. That being said, it is an awesome carb! Very nice and the quality is excellent.

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

What would ever make anyone think there are no adjustments to be made and a carburetor is ready to go “right out of the box”?

[@randr10]

Something I notice looking at that "mustache" feature is that where it dips down corresponds with the notches in the middle of the float so that the fuel misses the float as it's coming into the bowl and that only fuel filling the bottom of the bowl will interact with the float and the fuel will only shut off when it's full as opposed to other things causing it to surge up and close. They did a lot of thinking on that bowl and float design, and not just the 45's at the corners of the float.

[@slowfox89]

I think that's a fantastic carb. I'm impressed they put this much thought and resources into it when so many are efi focused. 👏

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

It’s encouraging to see that kind of time and money spent to develop it. Especially in todays world.

[@slowfox89]

@@MuscleCarSolutions my current issue is I have a street fox mustang that is stroked Windsor with standalone and it will stay that way. I have a v6 new edge mustang that I want to drag only. I have an LS in which I'd efi or a bbf460 which I'd prob carb because I love old school and carbs. I ran them a good many years and get very tickled when people my age(43) or younger are scared of them. Haha Sadly it's about the same money starting from scratch. I guess it just boils down to preference unless you are carb established on your build.

[@midwesthotrodz2807]

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CARB. I HAVE BEEN USING EDELBROCK AND CARTER CARBS FOR YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS WISHED A CARB LIKE THIS COULD EXIST AND NOW MY WISH HAS COME TRUE. I AM DEFINITLY GOING TO BUY ONE. I LIKE THE EDELBROCK DECALS AND HOPE THEY LEAVE THEM ON.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

A true work of art & technology, What a beauty! I gotta have one. Edelbrock has always been known to build quality parts, looks like they've done it again. As far as the logo, The whole top end of my engine is Edelbrock, So flying the company brand name doesn't bother me a bit. Perhaps choose either the side, or the front. Branding both locations is a bit much.

[@SoddaPopKid64]

Question: Since it has no choke, how is it at cold starts in the winter weather at 20 degrees??

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

It’s a race carburetor. If you need a carb with a choke, get one. This one isn’t it.

[@SoddaPopKid64]

Thanks for your reply@@MuscleCarSolutions

[@SoddaPopKid64]

That ends that. I had high hopes for that VR1 650. Especially since I saw that guy with the slant six throw it on out the box and it fired right up. He said it was cold outside, but it didn't look cold! So, I have another question then. I'm currently running an Edelbrock AVS2 650 electric choke. Infact I've been running Edelbrock carbs for some years, but I'm no expert like you are. I used to run the 1406s all the time. Yes, I can and have rebuilt a couple. But I don't do any special modifying. I just set the air mixture screws, fast idle and regular idle to my liking. I have a stock 350 rocket engine. The question is.....sometimes when it's cold out, my electric choke sticks when it closes at cold start up. Could I spray some WD40 on the linkage to keep it loose? or what should I do?@@MuscleCarSolutions

[@kalli71]

just a tip, if you're measuring liquids (float bowl) and want to compare them, you could always weigh it. a lot more accurate and often simpler

[@DSRE535]

I gotta tell you the complete adjustability of the fuel and Air circuits is what is turning me on the most that’s extremely useful

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Double edged sword. If you’ve got the data to make the right choices, it’ll be amazing. If not, could be rather frustrating!

[@DSRE535]

@@MuscleCarSolutions I build custom Q-jets for high performance street and race, the more adjustable it is the better for me, for the guys that don’t know how to tune or are beginners I’m sure that these will be fairly close out of the box for most typical Chevy applications

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

@@DSRE535 I’m a huge fan of Qjets. It’s what I started on long ago. But it sure does take an expert to want to take the time to learn it and know how to tune them. Once dialed in though….great carburetors!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983]

Wow. Now I can finally put an Edelbrock on my 327 clone engine. That two-part Holly is a real pain. Every spring my dad would rebuild it for me. Yes I meant enough to admit that I don't know everything and carburetors along with electrical wiring cars or at my top of the I don't give a blank to blank list. For years my Dad tried to get me to go to elderbrock on that engine. I wouldn't do it because I want it when you pop the hood for it to look correct. Now I'm Edelbrock guy I've got one on my 68 CST that's bone stock except for the carburetor. Back in

[@flexjay87]

Maybe its cuz i am so old, but Carbs are just cool. I just bought another motorcycle, and was considering a newer version of what i bought, with fuel injection, but i bought the 1st generation with carbs, and it runs flawless just like my old one did !

[@HotRodDave]

Looks Like A Nice Piece. Can't Wait To Try It

[@savagenomore]

the fact that I can just bolt on a TPS is a game changer for me, it's about time someone realized people still want a good carb but with a simple ability to run modern transmissions...

[@MuscleCarSolutions]

Agreed 100%

[@KurtisPalladino]

Hey there, great video. This is an awesome carbureator. I have this on my 540 stroker 1970 Chevelle. Do you have any videos of tuning.?

[@nogarage4473]

One of my other fav channels just now caught my attention to this new Carb. Anyway I've always been a fan of Edelbrock and to hear that they have improved the Carb, gets me giddy. Still got the Malibu in the shop for the SB swap over, however since there will be more time before this 4150 comes out I got's plenty of time to save for it. The 650 I think will be the best for the SB 305. With CAT delete that will put me well over 200 HP, and big ole sh*t eating grin on my face 😎.

[@1STLAR2147]

R&D team spent a lot of time on this thing! Very nice carb!!

[@Woodys-ul8tj]

[@Just1Spark]

I have zero projects to put a massively built all out race motor in. But now i want to build one!

[@johnburch6927]

Pretty incredible list of features.

[@robertgaborko9162]

This is going to be game changing

[@scottg391]

I love the drains in the float bowels. That would be the number one feature for me alone.... Nothing worse than dumping gas all over a hot manifold to make a jet change. I'm not a fan of the one piece body and base, one less gasket I guess but I like the idea breaking the entire unit down during a rebuild. Cost is comparable to Holley but nothing to write home about. I probably won't live long enough to use all the Holley carbs and parts in my inventory to justify switching brands. If someone hands me one, I'll certainly give it a whirl.

[@americanbigfoot7881]

Came from UTG to watch this, I’ve owned both Holley and Edelbrock. Both iconic brands but I have yet to meet a single person who has reliability out of their Sniper EFI, even had shops say they’re junk. I’ve always liked Edelbrock better and that will continue as it seems Edelbrock continues to focus on carbs and Holley is apparently more focused on their EFI mess. Side note: I like the red stickers! Adds some nice flare under the hood and if you don’t like them atleast you can remove them and still have the casted branding.
