HI. Let the carb knife fights begin!
Not exactly new but returning after many years and I recently started to revive my 66 A Code from induced coma.
Im sure this has been hashed time and again but Im pretty unfamiliar with autolite. Ive rebuilt many Holleys and Rochesters and even a few Amals. I currently have a Holley C6OF-9510-M its 600cfm, I got my codes crossed about 8yrs ago when I bought it thinking it was from a Falcon and would be nice for 289. Im gonna swap it for a smaller one but hate the Idea of 599+ for an autolite with a Z in the part code. My current leaning is for a D0PF-9510 its a Holley service replacement 450 i think. I see them often for between 1-200$. I am more torque and economy minded than top HP.
Each side try and convince me why i should buy either an Autolite or another Holley. Ill step back and avoid any blood splatter.
Thanks for the input.

BTW, My current and proboblly lifetime keeper is a 66 acode coupe. Standard black interior With the "R" code green. Derpending where I read its Ivy Green, Dark Ivy Green, Dark Green metalic or even Dark Highland Green, go figure. Whats your preference. Its currently a nice Blue that was well done in its day, jams and trunk also done, Im saving a swap back to green for the cherry on top effect.
Ive had it about 12+ years and havn't HAD to do to much to it. Disc brake swap from a 70something, HEI distributor, new bushings about everywhere, electric fan and a few other resto nick nacks.
It always ran good and I wonder if the engine had been gone through. It has a bit of a lope noticable at idle.
Big plans include out with the 3speed and in with a T5, also another wider rear about the same time. Any thoughts on the widest rear put in one? A lincoln or Grand Marquis/CrownVic. Id like to use the newest gen 16" wheels without a spacer.
