Carb choice for 350

[jimfulco]

You can't beat a Q-jet for a street-driven car. A local carb shop can rebuild yours for you, and you won't have to worry with recalibrating anything. I had mine done 5 or 6 years ago for $125, and that included new throttle shaft bushings. Might be up to $150 by now, but that's still cheap for a carb that works like brand new.

I was asking at the dealer for the little connector that goes to the choke on my '86 GMC. They couldn't get it but said their was this old man in an out of the way shop that could probably help me.
I found his shop and he actually had the connector with a wire lead for $2.
I asked how much to rebuild my carb and he said around $380!
I was thinking I would buy a new one instead but maybe I should just find another carb guy?
