Hot 318, carb choices.

Your likely going to get a lot of opinions here, but for what it's worth though... I have run quite a few hollies in the past and I've always had great luck out of them. East to work on and adjust. They hold a tune quite well. Aesthetically they just look better to me.

My buddy prefers edelbrock for some reason and he seems to have more issues out of them more often than I do. Could be him though. He's not a patient enough guy to stick with it and get it right lol
