I put an Edeklrock carb on my 64 12 years ago. Other than having to replace the accelerator pump because the ethanol laden crapgas damages the neoprene plunger over time, still works great.

You are in Florida. Shouldn't there be ethanol-free gas available near marinas, at least?

I put an Edelbrock on my 1958 Impala after getting tired of fighting with the tri-power setup. Starts and runs great. I also put in the suggested amount of Sta-Bil every time I fill up.

Ethanol was very common 12 years ago.

Why such a poor design?

Back in the late 60’s I had a 59 vette with an Edelbrock hi-rise manifold topped by 3 deuces. Mechanical linkage, the middle one was a regular 2 barrel and the only one working until about 2/3 throttle. Then the two high jet carbs kicked in and it was goodbye to most street racers. 4.56 gears helped too. 450 lift/ 284 duration solid lifter cam, headers, the usual stuff, dual point distributor, etc.
