Recommended 4bbl carb for stock 318

Just have to add my 2 cents. Since you have one of the best ever intake manifolds, keep your eyes open for a good TQ. You can use the OEM choke and pull off. They can be adjusted to run like fuel injection. Had mine in South Dakota and it worked like a charm. If you get a good TQ you will never put that Holley back on. I do understand the budget deal and which ever way you go, I'll second the MOPAR throttle arm, 340 cable bracket and tranny kickdown linkage or cable.
