Re: carb debate

Thanks Rich, good points - the kind of discussion I was talking about. As I 
want mine to be 1960's in appearance, I don't want a shiney carb as Holley 
and Eddy  are so fond of. Before Eddy bought them out, Carter had some 
aftermarket  AFB performance carbs (non-shiney) that I understand are 
identical to the current Eddys and I think max size was 750 CFM. Actually 
Rich, if you do some research , there are a lot of things you can do with a 
Holley depending on which one is selected.  Howerver I believe the Eddy 
might give a wider range of adjustments than most  any single street Holley. 
( like 3310)  Thats why my question--I don't know.

Rich, If I do select an AFB, I need to have you tutor me on it- what might 
that cost me? :-)......................MO
