looking for intake carb / manifold recommendations for 318 1973 La block

Just tuning like I said.

I have no idea why you would say that and stir up fear unnecessarily. Read the for sale thread. It is a freshly re-built carburetor. Why would you assume he needs somebody to do it for him for additional cost?
It may need tweaking, right? Just saying. I agree its a good deal and work well with his combo.

Previous guy said it was too much carb. That carb should be able to be tuned to any v8 to work well.
