I'd kind of tend to agree, only thing is most E carbs clones don't come close to real Carter AFBs performance. Most street cars (this is the street section) need to operate well at all speeds. And my race cars have all used reworked Q Jets, so you can go fast with them also. Other than that I agree 100%..........

The statement is akin this one, "If you want a Pontiac to run, put a chevy in it". Never bought into that one either......

See quote #1 on my Pontiaddict shirt I designed, and sold, for many years:

Well not really but sorta. As you likley know they are different than the station wagon carb. The Holley will idle a bit richer etc [but even that can be tuned out] but the throttle responce will be more noticable. The larger pump shot will cost a bit of fuel mileage, and all things being equal the Holley will be worth a length in the 1/4. Everything is a trade off.
