The secondary throttle bores on the Carter / Edelbrock / Weber are slightly
larger than the secondary intake manifold bores on the IH engine.  Carb
bores vary considerably in size between models and manufacturers.  The
primaries in these AFB clones are smaller than the bores in the IH
manifold.

I put on an Edelbrock and it's in the FAQ on the Binder Bulletin web site.
Let me know if you have any questions after you read it.
