Edelbrock's Performer carburetors feature two-piece, all-aluminum construction for cooler operating temperatures and less warping. There are no gaskets below the fuel bowl level for fewer leaks, and no plastic parts or power valves to blow out. The carbs use easily changed metering rods for precise tuning, and the primary venturi booster is a bottom-feed design for smoother acceleration and better drivability. Also included with every Edelbrock carburetor you will receive a owner's manual. These manuals consist of two sections; Section 1, Theory of Operation and tuning procedures which will help you be prepared to develop your own individualized calibration. Section 2, Tuning procedures will take you through a step-by-step procedure that will enable you to achieve a desirable calibration. For added ease of tuning, a Calibration reference chart for your model of carburetor will be included.
Comments: Came with my Jeep so I don't really know if it is any good or not. I get extremely bad gas mileage but I know it needs to be re-jetted too. Works fine for me!
Comments: Unit works well....Solved a lot of Problems, Good upgrade from stock carb! Performer Intake and Cam make for a world of diffrence as a package!
minimal adjustments without tearing it apart and replacing parts

yes
Comments: I dropped a ATK 304 rebuilt long block in the Jeep, did a rebuild on the carb (came with the Jeep), added a electric choke. Filled the float bowls, and she started right up. I was only 2 degrees ATDC on the timing when I re-installed the distributor. Not bad for a first timer, although my dad is a retired mechanic and he's been working with me on the Jeep.
Comments: I installed the Edelbrock performer on my 1975 CJ5 7-years ago and have not had any problems with the performance. This carburetor pack alot of power. I installed a 2" throttle body last year which seems to work well with the system.
Off-road Sputter, Just time to fix this problem...

Comments: Purchased the unit used with the Manifold. It worked flawlessly. PO installed spring-loaded needles which work very well. Tuning was only a little tedious but overall the product has been rock-solid, even though it was used.
Factory tune started right up, easy tunning, Leaves room to upgrade a stock 304.
Cons
Stalls out on Steep inclines, Needs edelbrocks off road needle seat.

yes
Comments: Through it on and it started right up. Tune the air/fuel and little to get better vacuum and that was it. It really opened up my 304. Add the edelbrock intake and some headers and its a pretty good package. I have really bad gas mileage though. Still trying to figure that out. But that was a problem before the new carb.
Comments: Not sure on price it came with the Jeep. It runs great if you keep it clean and maintained. I've had to clean the float bowls twice. Not really that abnormal.
Comments: I was hoping by getting a manual choke I would have the advantage of a idle stepper(?) but the design doesn't facilitate use of idle stepper without choke plate engaging.
Comments: decent carb but i wouldnt buy the endura shine since there is no need for it and think that for a off road use it would be better to get a different carb that works better on inclines and slopes
