Almost anything you can do with the Holley (EXCEPT go around corners at more than 1 g side forces) I can do with a Rochester or Carter on 40 percent LESS fuel! (well, close to 40 percent!)

Realistically - there are tuning parts available in more places for Holley than for Carter. Could that be because more Holleys than Carters need tuning parts more often??? LOL

How often will you need parts? The two Carters on my shop truck ran flawlessly with no intervention for 21 years until I decided I wanted factory air, and the shop installing the A/C had it for 21 months. During this time the floats stuck, and the carbs had to be cleaned.

So once you get it dialed in, maybe one or two rebuilding kits for the shelf???

JW - call me some time if you are interested in discussing this, no obligation at all.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
