Rebuild current Carb or new carb altogether

[acastro22]

Hello! I have a holly 2280 on a 318 on a 73 D100.
Should I buy the rebuild kit for 60$ or the new carb off amazon for 75$?

if what you have is rebuildable that's the preferred route.

but if that thing is trash, then i'd source something else. and while i'd say go and source a used BBD and rebuild that, i understand it's not always an option. that being said, those cheap amazon carbs can be okay. just fully check them out before installing.

Thank you for the info! Happy holidays

If the t/shaft is very worn, I would buy a new carb. Otherwise, I would rebuild the original carb. The carb in the pic is a Carter, not a H.
