Holley carbs. Love'em or hate'em?

Just for the ease of availability and selection of parts available the Holley is king. Yes they often need TLC for things like poor castings that need truing up or leaky pump or power valve diaphragms, but the tune-ability and performance potential are a big plus. Since many of my cars don't get started that often the AFB is a more logical choice. It does not have diaphragms that will get hard from wet and dry cycles and crack.
