First I'd like to say I know the consensus is that when looking for a carb for a stock engine you are best off rebuilding the stock rochester, but I havent got the time to rebuild, or even to take into a carb shop, I need somthing that I can drop in, plug all the hoses in and start the truck up.Unfortunately I'm not that motor savvy, so I haven't got a clue as to figuring out all the info needed to get a good carb. I have a Goodwrench crate 350, and an edelbrock performer intake model number 3701. My current rochester carb is at the end of the road I think, and I'd like to replace it with somthing of high quality. Here is a link to the sbc I have, mine is about 10 years old though:

The current carb is a Rochester model E4ME, and it has all the vacuum and smog junk on it, so I think I'm going to need another carb that is smog legal. Here is a picture of the current carb in its sad state:

Thanks for your time and let me know if you will be able to come up with something, I will be waiting for your response!
