Carb Swap?

@Paladin would be Proud of you! Lol

Except it's a spread bore holley, not the squarebore type, I think he's partial to the latter.

I always enjoy the Holley/Quadrajet debate. The fact is the Quad was built as a street carb, good manners and good fuel economy. When the big 3 wanted a higher performance carb, they all looked to Holley. More air/fuel for the high performance muscle cars of the 1960's. Fuel economy, emissions, for the Holley's, not so much.

Holley, very simple and easy to tune. Speed shops across the nation had anything you needed. In the 1970's as the emissions regs. came in, things started to change. Highly re-engineered Quadrajets, became in some cases, a better choice. (for you @Ricko1966 )

I'll still stand with @Paladin Holley's are easy to use and understand. Parts are still easy to get online. He!!, you can re-jet without even taking the carb off the engine.

I have zero problem at all with this. Holley is the simplest carb to tune. I like quads because they are so refined,but if you can't set it up right,all the refinement in the world is of no value.As a replacement carb,holley would be my second choice. Besides a properly set up quad.
