What do you guys like? What would you pick up and what would you do to them set-up wise?

Thanks

So many of the muscle cars back in the day had QJ's, but if you were lucky enough to have a DZ 302 Z28 , 375/396 or a 427 you get a Holley

Which brings up a pro Holley statement - I would dare to say best carbs of all time where the Holley 3310's. I believe that series got started on the 454 LS6's.

The 3310's just worked...small block, big block, mild to somewhat wild.....perhaps 'runniest' carb of all time. It has my vote.

I have a Holley Marine 4150 on my 330. It took an adapter spacer, a new throttle cable mount, and a new fuel line to make it all work. I prefer the Holley platform just because they are easier to work on and I already had the parts to make it work. I cant really comment on performance since I never ran the boat with the q-jet but it runs flawlessly with the 4150.
