Edelbrocks are more difficult to tune than a Holley, but they are also a better carb IMO. Good luck doing it if it's your first time. I haven't messed with one in years or I'd offer some advice.

I personally find them to be much easier to tune then a holley. Not as many variables to mess with.

You have a hi and a low, and an idle screw. It's not that difficult.

What part of Houston are you in? I'm in the Spring/Woodlands area... maybe I can help you out.
