68 Blackbird and 68 blkbrd - carburetion is defined as the mixing of fuel and air. How well it is mixed depends on many issues.

Probably the low end of the scale (assuming you have a car old enough to have running boards) is to hire a 15-year old to stand on the running board and pour gas into the engine out of a boot!

The high end will have different answers, depending of who you ask, but any carb guy I know would say Carter, or Holley, or Rochester (at least for a USA V-8, might get a Weber answer for an import).

Personally, my answer would be a Carter TQ (I have 150,000 carbs and I placed a TQ on my own personal Pontiac high performance engine). I also placed one on my best friend's vehicle (and we are still friends!!!).

As in my previous post, if you stay with one of the three aforementioned brands; the size and style of the carburetor are more important than the brand (although the Holley does have a reputation for being more thirsty than the other 2). Get the brand with which you (or your mechanic) has the most experience.
