Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?

If you have the want-to, and enjoy it, you'll get it. Me personally, I'd scratch the "buying another carb" until I dug deeper into what you have. I'd remove it from the car, take it apart, make notes of what you have for jets, float height, etc. Post pictures, that helps us a lot.

I may just buy this and shelf it for a bit cause the price is realllllyyy good and you all have convinced me to tinker more with what I have.. re-jetting and a power valve may be the ticket.. and i'd love to have some knowledge on carbs. To me they work purely on magic and good vibes..

I posted this earlier but I think you missed it???:

"I've had problems with Holleys dying at stop lights but it turns out that it was sputtering/dying when the car comes to a stop. Turns out Holleys will sometimes dump fuel into the venturies when you slow down fast. The fuel comes out of the horns that vent into the bowls. i researched the problem on the internet and found that you can stick a small hose and pipe on the horn so that fuel runs up the hose and doesn't overflow into the venturies. I used this fix on two different cars and fixed the sputtering/dying when you come to stop."

I did, thank you. do you have some pics you can send me or a link? I'm curious.....
