Which Carb to use
I plan on changing my carburetor soon so what is the best replacement carburetor to use on my 1978?? Ease of installation and reliability are major factors for me.
thanks

The new Edelbrocks (Thunder series) are supposed to be a great carb for the money. They require little (if any) tuning. If you are looking more for performance you could go with a Demon but there is a bit more to them than the Edelbrock.

Get an Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650 carb. You bolt it on and forget about it. That's what I did and I'm sorry I didn't go with Edelbrocks 15 years ago. :thumbs:
