Yellow,
Well as for confused - not really, but I was a bit frustrated.
It is very easy to see that really this is a matter of preference and suggestion from anyone which is based on what a person has upgraded to with the most success.
I have had suggestions for the Demon carb locally off the forum, they also loved their carb. And as for the Holley, Edlebrock, Carter's, and others, there have been good reviews depending on who you ask. But also every carb has had bad opinions as well.
Now I did say I was going to go with the 1406 as suggested and I think I still will because they sound easy to work on but I'm having a hard time finding an unpolished finish... I just never thought about preference and maybe the look being combined sometimes. When this was suggested I assumed this was a basic carb and not flashy, but really it doesn't matter because that's only preference as well.
When it comes down to it I am able to get the Edlebrock, Holley, and Demon for roughly the same price. Since I can see the fuel economy and power gains arn't that different and anyone of them can be tuned for such. So it is going to come down to workability, what I mean is which carb has the most options for jets and needles and is easy to work on. I say jets and needles because when I eventually get a cam, I will want a bit more fuel on the top end and have drivability in low rpm's with out having to upgrade carbs.
I just hope I'm correct and everyone feels the same way
