1405 or 1406 edelbrock carb

I like an electric choke for ease of operation, a no touch deal. Theres no performance gain in a manual carb. I like the AVS over the AFB and a Holley is just damn fine ethier way.

I have picked up rebuildable carbs for as little as $20. Then you have to rebuild it with the added cost of a rebuild kit and if need be a purchase of a soulution to dunk the carb in to loosen up the grime. Compressed air to blow it all out. These things I have so for me to rebuild the carb, it's easy and cheap.

Nothing beats a new carb, but I am pinching pennies.

Ethier carb is fine to use. I wold not use a mechanical secondary (DP) carb for a low HP auto trans Hwy geared car.
