Jim,

Thanks for the response. This does help. The more research I do, the more it seems that the Offy is a better choice to make for a street driver.

If I go with the 4-barrel and the cable lokar type throttle, I wonder how easily can I mate up to my linkage on the 3-speed chevy car. I would have to do some research on that.

But if I go with the OFFY and the 2-barrel carb I have now in the garage, I would have no linkage problem since I already have what I need linkage-wise. I actually had that carb on my OEM intake previously.

I must admit, I do prefer that 4-barrel option.
I bet that you had an automatic Nova and was able to run your throttle cable back to the tranny.
