All eddys are nothing more than old Carter AFB's. Saying that they are easy to tune is so much BS. Other than accelerator pump travel ALL other adjustment require removing the air horn. Float adjustments, drop and height, are a pain at best. Then comes metering rod size which is confusing at best. The only advantage with a Carte/ Eddy is the fact that the jets can be drilled out without affecting flow which is the case with a Holley. The accelerator pumps are the same size as when they were first introduced by Carter. Originally they came with leather pumps until they decided rubber was cheaper.
As you can see I'm not a big fan of Carter/eddy carbs. I played with many, including the old WCFB's, in the 60's and 70's until I wised up and went with Holleys. I will admit that they look better as two fours such as Mike P has on one of his Hemis.Ken Thomas
