For all you guys that have a "done" car, lol. I know it depends on the funds available, but lets say if I wanted a Carb instead of fuel injection on a 68 RR/383 HP, would I be better off going with a holley, carter, old carb, or new one? I saw an ad on the net on carbdemon.com and was impressed, but maybe is talored to GM? Looking at used AVS carbs on ebay, would still probably sind the best of $200 into a carb and kit. Maybe better to spend $400 on a new one or more? Also, with a 4 speed, I am assuming that all factory ones for RRs were cast aluminum? I know an old guy that swears that he has 6 or 7 steel ones that are alot tougher. Maybe off trucks??? Don't know the application he got them from and he used to have alot of original 413 and 392 factory cars several years ago. Wonder if that is where the steel bell housings came from. What do you think I should use? I have a Holley at home, but don't have the number of the carb with me. Will be home tomorrow night to look. I have the best part of 3 engines, but only one carb, and parts of one distributor, so will be in the need of some parts shopping. Oh well, a good winter project and have some time to gather stuff in!
