looking to change from a quadrajet to an edelbrock carb - any suggestions?

[Brently]

What will i have to have to make a swap from the original quadrajet to an edelbrock? i still want to drive this truck everyday so i don't want a massive gas drinking carb on it - do you suggest a 600 cfm? what about the hookup? do you suggest a manual choke or electric? spacer? do you even suggest an edelbrock carb? help - i am tired of trying to get my quadrajet set exactly right so it will run well - any help will be appreciated - oh yeah if you do suggest getting the edelbrock, does anyone have one or suggest where i can get one reasonable? thanks, Brent
