Default New to Me '68 Goat -What Carb / EFI should I choose?

Finally back after finally finding the 68 Convert HO with manual I was looking for.

Just drove it from Seattle to Florida - thought we'd die in the Mojave desert

Carter Carb was puking, overheating in 110 degrees, and the Muncie was popping out of gear while the clutch was at it's end.
But the car is immaculate and rust free and we still cruised at 80mph.....

So with the Carter carb, it has an Edelbrock Performer intake, and worn out points, dist cap, etc.

What should I go with now? Told the engine is rebuilt with hotter cam but no idea.
Holley / Edelbrock carb, Sniper EFI (don't want internal fuel pump) or something else?
What intake? keep the Performer?
The car is a tire burner now and can only get better

I have had really good luck with the ‘quick fuel’ carbs- I think they are owned by Holley now.

If it is a stock-ish motor I would buy the brawler series and bolt it on. I have them on 5 different cars now with absolutely no issues and they seem to do okay with today’s fuel.

Of course ideally you want a correctly built quadrajet- key word is correct. You will have to wait in line for a few months I would think.

Summit will have the quick fuel to you tomorrow.

I like the idea of fuel injection but not swapping the tank, fuel and ignition system on a running car. Not when I can get pretty reliable performance out of a modern carb.

I may try fuel injection on my next build so im not against it, just don’t want to take anything apart I don’t have to.

Hope this helps.
