    SUs Or Holley

    Am I missing the point here? you either want performance OR economy you cant have both with a v8 Performance wise get the holley carb as its easier to set up and as it closely copies the rochester that was on the 216 Buick to begin with --Rover wanted supply but had contract problems with SU...

    V8 Tickover troubles
