I understand where you are coming from. An Edelbrock carb just "doesn't look right" on these cars.

I had one on my last cobra and it performed ok but I never liked the idiosyncracies of that carb. Mine would attempt to stall under hard braking and would fart whenever I cornered hard. Couldn't make those problems go away. That plus the fact that it just didn't "look right".

Bought a BG Speed Demon and eliminated the previous problems and improved accelleration and throttle response.

Could have done the same thing with a Holley. I just wanted to try the BG.

So, it's your car, and if you aren't happy with "the look", swap it out. You can always put it back on if the replacement doesn't work out. I'm never happy unless there is something to futz with.
