Supercharged Group: Forum Members Last Active: 2 Years Ago Posts: 435, Visits: 26.8K	Im lookin for good gas mileage, four barrell, easy to rebuild and low maintainance carberator for 272/292 range Y block. Something easy to find used that I can put a kit in and wont break the bank. Just a daily driver type carberator with simplicity and quality. I know you guys will give me some good recommendations. Thanks for all your help. Darrell Howard Whitefish, MT Outlaw 56 Ford F-100's
