POLL: Which is your favorite carb(s) of choice?

A little old but I still like it:

That Carter 750 AFB did extremely well when stacked against the Holley style counterparts.

I've rebuilt quite a few Carter AFB's. I like them. I'm about ready to switch out my 25+ yr old carter AFB 625 with an Edel 650 AVS. We'll see how it goes. This is my first Edelbrock carb.

But I voted Thermoquad. My father use to have one on his old Ramcharger. That thing sounded mean when the secondaries opened. He knew how to tune the darn thing. I was too stubborn and impatient to learn from him (hey I was 18 and thought I knew everything)... Now I regret it, It is something I will have to learn eventually as he forgot how to tune one for the most part.

That 1984 Ramcharger had a 360 and it averaged 13 to 14.5 mpg on the freeway.
It then started bogging real bad and I didn't want to deal with it anymore so... I then bought an AFB and stuck it on there, it averaged 11-12 at first. That's when I learned how to tune those damn things. However the best I can get it to go was 13.5 on a good day. Still pretty damn good for a 4500 lbs barn door with all-terrains.

So, I now have a hodge-podge of three Carter AFB's in peices, and three various thermoquads I have collected sitting in my garage. I also have two Rochesters (one from a Pontiac 400 and one from an 88 dodge ram).

I am going to crack the Thermoquad code one of these days.

And the beauty of it is that this site is a treasure trove of knowledge.

And yes, I'm not a big fan of the Holley's (sorry Holley fans). Although I think Quickfuel may be worth looking into.

Those new TQ style Street Demons are interesting, reviews seem to be mainly positive.

And I did find a 1960's Chrysler New Yorker(?) in a salvage yard with what appears to be a very old AFB ancestor on it, I know it has a big block in it, I'm just curious if its something worth looking into. It sure is kinda weird looking.

Sorry for writing a book here...
