Best Carb?

I have a 350 Crate motor in my 73 Cheyenne and I need to replace the Carburetor. Any recommendations?

I was looking at the edel 1406 or the Holley 4160...but wanted to see what else might be out there.

I'm mostly using this as a back country truck, it's not my daily driver.

Thanks,

I had a Holley on there, that's the one that's shot. I've heard Edlebrock are easier to maintain. Why do you recommend Holley, I'm open to either.

Re: Best Carb?

Holly is a great competition carb, I've found Carter AFB's/Edelbrock to be easier to tune. Weber makes Edelbrock now, which is a Carter AFB.
