For a V8, I like the Rochestor Q-jets.

They are a great carb, but highly misunderstood. Thanks to the advice here I picked up the Q-jet book and it blows my mind how well it works now. It took about three times of pulling it apart and trying it out before I was finally satisfied with how it ran. The book made a world of difference.

That and ALWAYS replace the old phenolic float! They saturate with fuel over time and give an inappropriate float level due to the extra weight.

Good luck, Jeff
