CBL,

I always liked that darned original AFB carb.

They were very easy to repair as they were only a two piece carb and really didn't have a lot of interworking circuits.

Their downfall was that long primary throttle shaft. It had a tendency to wobble out the bushings in the body and then the things would not idle down and maintain a proper idle speed.

I know what you mean about the Holleys, as they are a mechanical nightmare having all those little parts, gaskets and adjustments. I still liked 'em tho, probably because they made me a lot of money over the years.

Kinda like the overdrive 700R4 tranny (that was my baby). :>)
