I've been looking for a carb for my 289 2v and as much as I've tried to educated myself I really dont know exactly what I should be purchasing. So are you guys using electric or manual? What CFM? What brand? Thanks in advance

Autolight 2100 is a great carb. Very reliable, easy to work on. There have been some good posts about Pony Carbs.

YMMV,

 

Electric choke is easyest and Holley makes a 500cfm as a performance upgrade that would work great. The stock 4v was only a 490cfm so the 500cfm is in the same ballpark.

I second the autolite. I think they are easier to maintain and work on that a Holley is. Just my experience though.

 

If you're keeping the 2v just have Pony carbs rebuild it you! If you're changing to a 4v get the autolite 4100 carb!

 

When I did a search for other topics like mine somebody else was getting very different answers. They were basically telling him to go with an electric choke Edelbrock...how does that sound?

 

Just my personal experience;
The stove pipe choke works very well when set up correctly. There is no need to splice into your harness, so it's an easier cleaner install. I'm also a fan of Autolite carbs 2100 and 4100 series. They work well out of the box, and really well when you spend a little time to dial them in.
If there is a tap on your '67 that allows you to have the electric choke powered only when the ignition is in the run position, then an electric choke is OK too. More than not what I see with electric chokes is, people who tie them into the coil circuit. This is a big no-no.
Pretty much any carb installed and dialed in correctly will function just fine. Hard to go wrong now-a-days.
An electric choke relies on the electrical system to provide heat, this can change with driving conditions, weather, or time of day. A stove pipe choke relies on the exhaust temp. This is more an accurate reflection of engine temperature, however it is not perfect either.
Good luck with what ever you decide.

I would send in your carb to Pony Carbs and have them do the re-build. They will actually test it like it is on a running car! Keep it stock (Autolite 2100) IMO. Make sure you tell em you alt. so they can jet it right
