Read something on Dear Abby I actually liked.

“To keep your marriage brimming,

And love in the loving cup.

When you’re wrong admit it.

When you’re right shut up!”

That would work but, as you know, I'm not a fan of the typical Holley. (I am a fan of Holly.) So, while I don't know what those carbs are, they certainly have the bowl gasket holding fuel in, and surely the fabric accelerator pump and power valve. So that wouldn't be my choice.

Now the Holley/Weber carbs are of a completely different design, so don't have those ills. And although they sure have other ills, I'm still thinking they are the way to go.

Probably Holley 1901, they look just like the one my 223 had on it right down to the glass float bowls. It was called a "Visi-flow" since you could look inside and see what was going on. They are pretty simple, straight forward carbs and very trouble free other than the venturii icing up in cool damp weather. I would rather have one of them than a Carter YF, or Rochester B series.
