The carbs I have rebuilt from kits don't generally work all that well, and many others atest to similar experience. Rebuilt carbs from parts store aren't usually much better than the ones you rebuild yourself. The Holley/Weber 5200 two stage 2 barrel is an excellent choice for a stock or mildly built 230. I have one the 25o in my truck, and 3 on the shelf for parts. You can get a Holley factory rebuild and an adapter from Langdon's Stovebolt motor company at http://www.stoveboltenginecom.com
