I have run several Original CARTER CORP AFBs and was very happy with them.
A 64-66 Pontiac 389 AFB was very smooth and performed well on both a 389 and 400
engine in my 64 GTO.

I am not going to speak about the "Other stuff" out there.
I will say when you can get a 4400+ pound 63 Catalina Wagon to run CONSISTENT
12.06 ETs in the quarter with a basic hydraulic camshaft and cast iron head and block
455 engine, you know how to tune an engine and Carter AFB Carbs.

Lots of much lighter Tempest/Firebird "race cars" will not run that well with 800 lbs
less weight.

The new carb stuff is fishing for "bait" (suckers) lol..
