I have a 1970 440 driver and the it needs a carburetor. It is the "HP" version-w-stated 275 hp. I'm wondering about an Edelbrock or some other aftermarket carb. The engine is bone stock, I'm not looking for power but drivability and it is an automatic. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Edelbrock Thunder AVS 750cfm would be my choice. Should drop right on too.
 
Ooops-yes. the stated hp for the engine is 375. I think the ''non HP model was 325 and the carb and cam were the differences.
Thanks-Howard
 
I have had a lot of luck with TQ's, All the advantages of the AVS carbs but run cooler so, no boiling. Usually got a mile or 2 better per gallon too. They are definitely a love em or hate em piece but still relatively cheap to buy.
