Carb Recommendation

If they never blew out then why did they have to add this protection? By the way I have been working on carbs way before 1982 and I still have many Holley carbs on cars. But the OP was asking for the BEST
which I still think for the street it would NOT be a Holley.

It's not that they don't blow. It's guys who can't get their timing correct or their tune up.

I **** you not...I just watched a guy for a whole hour try and put a distributor in. It was the biggest cluster flop I've seen since basic in 1982. He couldn't find TDC on number 1. Didn't know to line up the oil pump drive.

After an hour I did it for him. Took all of 5 minutes to do it all.

People like that kill power valves on a regular basis.
