Default need low cost holley carburator

i need a holley carburator at a good price. it can be a 4150, 4160, it doesnt matter too much as long as it works. its for a truck so i am not to picky. i have $50 on hand.

"low cost holley" ... huh? Is there really such a thing?

Carb kit - $45
Beer for carb tech - $25
Pizza for carb tech - $12
Several days later... runs like crap & backfires
Power valve - $12, thicker base gasket (summer's here) -$8.95
More beer & pizza for "carb tech" - $37
Damn, drunken tech adjusts timing , engine backfires again
Another powervalve -$12

Edelbrock with no powervalves and electric choke ... PRICELESS

If I stumble across one, I will give it to you.

I know, it's a love - hate thing I have for Holleys.
No bad wishes to the $50 investor --- really, if I had one I'd give him one.

Did you get that deal running?
