I put one on mine last summer. Runs well right out of the box. I didn't want to mess with rebuilts or reconditioneds, but I saved the original to restore down the road. No regrets and complete peace of mind knowing everything is brand spankin' new.

The 1901 is a good carb, and it will run well. It is jetted very lean from Edelbrock in order to get the "50-State Legal" certificate: it is set up with the "truck" jetting spec. You can get much better throttle response and power out of it if you bump the primary jet size up a couple of sizes for Vette use.
