I've also found two sets of Holley jets where one jet was not finished. Possibly the same manufacturer of jets for both companies? No different than everything else we are buying today.
I'm one of the ones that have had nothing but exceptionally good experiences with the Edelbrock AFB's. They are a little harder to tune than Holley carbs because of the front rods are like the Quadrajet, but much better than the Quadrajet secondary's. Quick, you want to richen up secondary jetting on a Quadrajet and you have BD rods, what rod do you grab? What rod after you find out that rod isn't available? If you have an Edelbrock AFB you go up a jet size just like on a Holley.
I'm also rather non-denominational on my carbs:
67 Blue GTO - Edelbrock 850 Quadrajet
67 GTO Cruiser (sold) - original Quadrajet
65 Bonneville HT - original Pontiac AFB
65 2+2 - Edelbrock 800 AVS AFB
68 Firebird (sold) - Holley 850 Double Pumper
65 Safari Wagon - 2 Edelbrock 600 AFB's
GTO drag car - Demon 1050 Dominator
My opinion on best idling and most trouble free carbs - AFB, either original or Edelbrock.
