I have a stock 272 with a stock holly 4000 4 bbl and a loadamatic distributor.
Carb leaks and I need to replace it. Should I buy a rebuilt 4000 and stay with the stock setup or get a aftermarket carburetor and electronic distributor? I want it to be a cruiser and reliable. Did a search but couldn't get a concise answer.
