If you are running a fairly mild engine 235 or 250 inches, you can't beat the Holley/Weber 5200. I have 2 good ones and a bucket of parts. I use one on my 250 Chev motor and I love it. I used the adapter from langdon's and mounted the carb sideways to simplify the linkage. However I am going to modify my manifold to eliminate the adapter when I do my rebuild. I am also getting a jet kit from carbs.net because out of the box the jets were pretty small. It worked good but it works MUCH better with the set-up I have now. However, what I have now is just bigger main jets. The kit has the air jets and some other stuff. Basically I am getting the kit that has the jets that would have been used in a V6 carb like in a Capri or Mustang. The carbs I have came off Pinto motors. The one I bought from Langdon's is the best one, but it had REALLY small jets. Right now I am running a 140 on the primary and one I drilled out with a 1/16 drill bit on the secondary. With the accellerator pump set on the highest setting the whole thing works good and is VASTLY SUPERIOR to the original monojet. When I am finished with my engine I will have a rockin 250 running about 200 hp and my total investment in carbs and carb fiddling will be about $160. that includes a spare sitting on the shelf that I will be able to swap out in about 30 minutes!
Good Luck,
Bob
