1945 vs bbs

Serviced properly either one should serve you well. Published CFM for the BBS 200, the
1945 is 203 @3.0"Hg, so it really is a toss-up airflow wise.Both have 1 11/16" throttle
bores, the early 170's had a smaller BBS w/ a smaller 1 9/16 bore. Tuning however is
another matter, & there, the holley might have an edge. Jets available to tune it, and
with the asinine implementation of the carburetor's poison known as alcohol, most of
our cars are running lean w/ the 10% and up concentrations. I had to jet up a stock
327 2bbl '68 camaro 4spd conv. w/ jets donated from an Olds 350 roachmaster 2bbl.
I haven't rebuilt carbs on a reg. basis for a while now, when it used to be a 2-3/wk
occurence at the shop,so I'm not even sure who is making the best kits these days.
Used to love the Borg/Warner kits, not even sure if they're still making them now,
Whatever you choose, look for premium materials that are designed to resist alcohol,
and good luck& patience to You. I'm faced w/a rebuild of a Holley 2245 I modified yrs.
ago for my /6, and will be doing the same research myself,cheers!:coffee2:
