If you notice above, there is no clear winner among the voters. This is probably one of those questions that can never really be answered as each of the choices has their advantages.

With that being said, my old 72 had a 350 and a 1406 Edelbrock. Once I replaced the 160 degree thermostat with the correct 195 and got the choke adjusted, it ran great. Before that it did not and I thought it was carburetor problems when it was the thermostat all along.
