I guess it basically boils down to personal preference but would appreciate options of those who have tried both. I have a Edelbrock 557 on my stock 292 Y-Block. I currently have 97's installed* (which will all probably all will need to be rebuilt), but I have been reading a good bit recently about the Holley 94's as a more streetable/reliable replacement carb.

I like the nostalgia aspect of the 97's, but just wondered if (before I spend the money) getting a set of 94's would give me more reliability, less leakage, etc. Would appreciate you thoughts and shared experiences.



*Technically, the truck is currently running with what I believe is a Rochester carb in the center with the two outboard carbs disconnected but I have a rebuildable 97 available.
