Carburetor advice.

I'm in the market for a quick fuel carb so when I spoke to the rep he told me I should go with PN# ss-735-vs carb. I wanted to see what advice you guys could give me. I have mild 350 olds, comp cam and roller rockers with a elederbrock performer rpm intake. It's just a street car no racing. Mixture of in town/out if town driving.

I have a Holley Street Avenger 670cfm on my 350, little more than mild engine. It works great, very happy with it.

Asking what carb is best is like asking if blondes are better than brunettes. A quadrajet can do whatever you need and may be most efficient if you do much highway driving. Always liked the Qjet myself and have a lightly used Holley 80457-S available if interested that I pulled to go back to a Qjet.

on a mild build there is no power to be found with a aftermarket carb. A tuned quadrajet cant be beat. There part throttle responce is the better than all of them. and with the price of that carb you could get a custom built q jet for a lot less that is a match to your engine.

Easier to fix, but harder to troubleshoot, some symptoms can be confusing.
