Carb advice for CA '79
Hi guys-thanks advance for the help. I have a 79 that has the factory carb that needs a rebuild. With the recent change in the California smog laws I can now run pretty much whatever I want so long as it's at least as clean as the original set up.
That would seem to open up a lot of options, ideally I'd use an EFI set up but after doing some searching here that seems like it's a non-trivial path.
She's a road car, used for running around fun and occasional longer road trips. Livability and reliability is more important then maximum performance.
Is there a bolt on carb that you all would recommend? Rebuild the existing one and be done with it?
Thanks!

Sounds like you should stick with a Nikki, as it is original equipment, but get it expertly hogged out so it increases performance and drivability.
You will also want to step away from points and into a direct fire upgrade from an 81-85 model. I like and personally use DLIDFIS.
