I have been thinking of getting another carb as a spare. The carb on the car now is New GM purchased about 5 years ago. Not even 3K miles on it.

Any opinion on this one ???

Thanks

If you had the carb sent out to a performance shop I'm sure they could find some gains for you, but the biggest thing(s) holding that motor back (besides being a small-bore 305) are the cam and heads. You aren't going to see any big jumps in power without getting rid of (or at least modifying) the original top end.
