Holley carb question

I searched and couldn't come up with anything. My friend at work asked me if I knew where to buy the Holley carb for the first gen that his brother has, and I found a couple of websites that sale it mazdatrix and racing beat. I was wondering where you guys buy yours from other than the f/s section? Thanks for the help.

Racingbeat has the modified holley...take my advice though and go with an edelbrock 500cfm thunderseries and premix.

Or a Sterling, think he found his flow rates pretty comparable to the RB Holley

Some will claim spectacular results from slapping on a store-bough Holley 465. Don't believe them, they don't know WTF they're talking about. Racing Beat modifies the Holley 465 to work well with a rotary.
Don't believe everything you read about simply slapping on some carburetor, either.

Many get lucky "out of the box", but regardless you need to tune to you environment and elevation. I can do to a track 175 miles east and I would need to rejet.

A lottery winner collecting his $10,000 winnings is just as "lucky" as the one standing right next to him collecting on his $100 winning ticket.

-When you're "lucky", any thing's better than what you had.

People also think that Holley 650s they slap out there 12a is "awesome" because stock Nikki sucked so bad.
