Cardo post #2 and b-man post #15 and both correct IMO. An original AFB from the era of your car is the most reliable and trouble free four barrel route you can go. Holley or quadrajet carbs can be made to outperform an afb but can both be real PITA if not set up right in the first place and both take more expertise than does the afb to get set up. The same applies to the tripower setup with the added criticisms that it is the system most likely to get out of whack down the road, the carbs themselves have several engineering flaws, and sets have the most fuel connestions so are the most likely to catch fire. But trips ARE sexy as b-man says. If you want reliability and sex appeal both go with dual quad afbs on an offenhauser intake.
