I have a crooked knuckle on my right hand thanks to an accel HEI. Long story.

About your choices:

I don't like Holley carbs on drivers. Crappy, leak-prone design that doesn't do part throttle (90% of street driving!) well, always tends to run rich leading to stinky exhaust, fouled plugs and poor mileage unless you spend far, far too much time dicking with it. And when the weather changes it's out of sorts again. For a car that spends a majority of it's time at WOT they're pretty damn good, though.

Do this one instead:

It's a far better and cleaner carb for street use and doesn't have fuel slosh issues like the holley ones do. Also comes with the calibration kit. No leak issues.
