Will a edelbrock 4 bbl 550 cfm be a good carb for a stock sbc 350 for normal driving conditions ? Are they reliable ? Manual or electric choke ?
It will work just fine. They are reliable. My 500 has seen about 300k, total, on 5 engines, on 6 vehicles. Still going strong. Go with an electric choke. Set it, and forget it. Just make sure that you set you float levels when you get it, and make sure not to run over 5.5psi.
