I've never been any good at tuning carbs and all the Holley's I've owned were on the car when I bought it. These were daily driven street cars. I fought and wrestled with the Holley's for a few years. I finally got fed up and went and bought a new Carter AFB. Bolted it on, set the idle mixture and rpm, closed the hood and never had a problem with them. I drove that car for 10 years and finally sold it. I saw him about a year ago and he's still driving it, same motor untouched right down to the carb. I built a 350 for my Cutlass and I bought a new Carter AFB for it, too. Not a bit of problem. I still have it. I pulled it off only because I went with fuel injection. If I had to go back with a carb, It'd be a Carter without a doubt.
If you can tune carbs the Holley's may be better, but with my experience, I stand behind the Carter's.
