Recommended 4bbl carb for stock 318

Just read the whole thread. My head is spinning. Your all over the place bud. Got nothing for you, you seem to have it all figured out. Back in the day I had a stock 1970 318 Dart with an Ede Performer and an Ede 600, and that little bugger would burn rubber all the way down the street. But what do I know.

All over the place?
Yeah, the choices of carbs change? That's the point of finding what's best for the current situation.
I mean there was the first choice of (Edlebrock) was based on people like yourself who used it and have had no trouble. Next there's the (Holley Demon), same deal and also a suggestion for Themoquad. But no real fight against the Holley Classic 600CFM 4160.
I initially went with the Edlebrock because of the first few posts being very adamant on satisfaction. I was then swayed toward the demon due to suggestions and what I found to be better internal upgrades available for the future. And now to the choice of the 4160 is just the "money savings" and the fact the it should work fine.
So there's the loop around, I hope it helps. I guess this means I should start a new initial OP reply with my thoughts for the current standing (ie. current carb and intake removal to switch to the available intake and carb) asking what are the drawbacks in the 4160 vs. the Edlebrock, Demon, or others
