Carburetor Repacement Choice
Not a carb expert, but usually manage to clean/rebuild/adjust and keep them working well as needed. I am not looking for high performance at this stage - simply want dependability and no hassle for old Chevs that sit a lot and mostly are driven for fun on occasion - with a bit of work mixed in.
Although I did need to do some cleanup/rebuild due to residual effects of stored ethanol, the Quadrajets have been very good and I like their performance. But rebuilding - not so easy in my experience. I have decided to give up on the Holley versions that came with vehicles here - original on a 1967 327/350; aftermarket on a 1968 327, and; another on a 1969 327. I have installed/tried a rebuilt Carter AFB on the 1967 and so far, so good - actually very good. And, I found it easier to rebuild and tune in than the Quads. Has that been your experience? For the described needs, would you go with original Carter AFBs and rebuild, or the later AFB types as produced by Edelbrock/etc. (have gotten mixed reviews on those types) or buy some specific one new? Or what? Open to all views and suggestions. Thanks for reading.
