How true. I have heard that the Edelbrock fuel pumps are prone to leaking. I am leaning toward the Holley since the casing can rotate. Hence, you can move the braided fuel line slightly away from the lower radiator hose. If this doesn't work, then what next, re: electric fuel pump ? Any other experiences shared here will be appreciated. Incidentally, one thing is clear. The 110 ghp flow rate of both Holley and Edelbrock make the 396 engine run and idle better ? Or, am I wrong about that too ?
