Stock 360 build - What carb?

Better?!?! LMAO!

The reason I type the above is basically due to driver choice in carb style/manufacturer. The important thing is :

1: You select the right size carb for what your doing.

And IMO, you nailed it at 600cfm’s.
Been there done that many times.

2: There is nothing wrong with any style carb you use BUT you have to tune it. Everybody has a favorite carb they can tune.

Oh! Also, there is NO PERFORMANCE GAIN with a manual choke.
An electric choke just makes life a little easier.
I happen to like the Carter/Edelbrock carbs a lot.
