My experience w/ buying carbs & parts over the last few years has led me to believe the following: Every carburetor has the potential to be a piece of junk until someone goes through it and makes it "not junk". THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^

I agree. That's why I have no problem buying refurb from holley. Based on a refurb that I bought directly from Holley, that's still no guaranty it's right outta the box.

I had a low deck M1 TR on my little 451 in my DartSport with Eddy heads and 590 purpleshaft cam. I ordered custom tunnel ram 750's from Quickfuel, car weighed 3050# and ran a best of 9.89 at 136. Carbs were spot-on right out of the box and they had a wedge-shaped fuel bowl floats that were supposedly good for tunnel rams if I remember correctly. These days I wouldn't hesitate to order carbs from Dom.

It all depends on what's left after the holidays money wise. I know the feeling! I've been working over 50 hours every week to get my Challenger upgrades done.
