stock on a 2F, 1980
Aisin Carb, was Jim C... Now it is Will C 
Holley 2-barrels are good, but not enuf for a smallblock
Holley 4-barrels suck, period....
Edlebrock Performer and Carter AFB are nearly identical, and can be tweaked to work adequate
Quadrajunks are by far the best offroad.
I started with a Holley 4-barrel....lasted 3 weeks before I scrapped it...went to a tweaked Carter and ran that for a long time...finally was convinced to run the qjet and loved that instantly...
course, the TBI I run now tops them all....lol

And still another 20 post about 1F & 2F carbs after that
Quadrajet is the way to go. Been running mine since the v8 swapand have never looked back. Ran it like it was, didn't touch a think on it and it works great angles. Had a lot of people think I had FI.

The name that dare not be mentioned?
Q-Jet on my 350 and my 454.
When I started wheeling over 20 years ago, I spent a lot of time at the campfire listening to the old timers talking about their experiences. I ran with a group of Chevy people who had basically tried everything available on the market. Their carb stories were always the same. They cussed out the ‘Quadra junk’ and put on a Holley. Six months later the Holley was on the shelf and they were sure a Carter AFB would be the silver bullet. A year later, the venerable Rochester was back on the rig! I figured I just saved myself a lot of headache and $$ by leaving well-enough alone.

Had to ask the kids what this meant.
Guess I set myself up this time!
Justin's Q-jet is on the way. On to I-Dave's D-40!
Woohoo!
