If He likes the Carter AFB, He'll like the edelbrock just as well.
They are the same carb, right down to the Weber "W" on the side of the
carb. The carter and edelbrock jets and needles are interchangeable, only
the edelbrock part numbering system for the jets makes more sense...
The shop I bought my edelbrock from sold both e-brock and carter and the
guy plunked both 600cfm ebrock and 600cfm AFB down on the counter in front
of me. Externally they were identical in every way except for the name tag
riveted on the front. Right down to all the casting #'s and detail...
I bought the edelbrock over the carter because they were out of stock on
the AFB with electric choke...
The AFB would have been something like $6 cheaper if they had had it in stock.
Buy whichever one You can get cheapest, cuz dey iz de same animal!
The edelbrock jet numbering system is real easy... subtract 300 from the part
> number to get jet diameter in ". I.E: part # "395" = .095". "401"= .101", etc.
The carter #'s require a little application of Your magic decoder ring to
figure out the actual size...
They're both good carbs, designed by Weber, and Weber ain't no slouch when
it comes to making good carbs!

I understand your dimensia (Recovering evil bowtie victom. That was a little
over a year ago and I'm feeling much better now)... And oh I hate to tell
you but you might want to rethink your unsanity, as I have heard lizards
talk.(I think it was a discussion about bumping of some frogs)...
