I have never used the Edelbrock version- but I have installed 3 sets of the Genuine Suspension & Lakewood versions on 65-66 GTOs.
To install them on a 10 bolt, there is a bit of grinding (but only on the LS bar) that will be necessary to clear the housing rib. You can see why on the 3rd pic attached.

I use the Eddys on mine, and I put the Lakewood version on Dad's car.
Both do the same thing. Yes it has made 60 foot times more consistent and the cars more predictable. They work great for drag radial applications where you want separation. Over time I took them a step further with adjustable upper bars and double adjustable shocks so I could fine tune things. As I added more power I found I needed more rebound control to slow the separation down. |

FWIW, I did use the Edelbrock no hops on an 8.5 years back. I remember I had the same concern, as they didn’t really fit out of the box. I had to do some grinding on the rear end housing and no hops to get them to fit.
