Default Im getting carb next week!

Ok guys next week i am going to get my carburetor. i will have $300 racked up. It feels good to have hard earned money
i think im leaning towards this holley 4160 versus the edelbrocks. (Glen i know you think the 4100 is the best (probably is), but i is to much $$$$ and time.)
4160

Yeah, Edelbrocks are good, but are horrible on gas mileage. They look better too.

Hi,
You can get a rebuilt 4100 at Carb Exchange for 240 bucks and they will charge 80 bucks if you don't have a core. Here is the web address. http://carburetorexchange.com/index.php

I heard that the Holly's are harder to tune and exchange jets and springs, is this true?

My Edelbrock is really easy to change them.
