There is nothing wrong with the Carter Competition AFB carbs that start with a 9000 number. I have heard for years they are junk. My experience says different. Even the E carbs are not bad. I run the Carter Competition 9755 AFBS on my 66 since 2005. SMALL CID stock block with a Wenzler intake. Car weighs 3750 with me in it, Stock suspension, full exhaust and has been the best of 9.79 in the 1/4. I also street drive this car and have never had a problem with idle. Drove it 30 miles to eat lunch with my daughter the other day. 60 miles round trip with quite a few red lights. No issues, no rich exhaust fumes etc. ANY carb needs tuned to the combo.
The Offy intake was .4 tenths faster than the Edelbrock P65 on my car. The Wenzler was .3 tenths faster than the Offy. Both intakes were ported to a 1233 gasket.
As far a carbs go, I have run the Carter Comp 750's and the E-800's back to back. Only .04 difference. The E-600's were bout .15 slower.
