What aftermarket carb is right for me?
I have a 1985 GSL that I am starting to modify I already have the full racing beat exhaust and next I am going to change to a different carburatoer/intake setup. I am going to run a carter fuel pump and holley fuel pressure regulator. Im curious as to what carb setup is the most streetable? I am looking at the weber 48 dcoe and am curious on how practical it is on the street and if it has a choke or not. Pretty much I am looking for a good comprimise between power and streetablity (choke) so the car will actually start. (even though its going to strictly be a summer car I need it to start and are summers aren't to hot) I am thinking of eventually streetporting the engine when it needs to be taken out in the long run.
Thanks!
Thanks!

yeah i have a weber 45dcoe side draft, you can put a choke on it, but i never use it, since ur in canada u might need it, i think the 45 and the 40 are the only ones with a choke on it... but i do love my weber, and the way it sounds is sexy...

my dellorto 48dhla is great. awesome power and xcellent on the streets, very similar to the dcoe weber. my dell has a choke. 48 will be fine on a streetport 12a. i never use my choke because these carbs have such an excellent accelerator pump design you really dont need it. spend the xtra $ and buy a Racing Beat unit and it will take all the guess work and headaches out of the equation.

I have run a 48 IDA on stock and street ported motors with good results. I live in NW ohio and ran it all winter (IDA's dont have chokes). Just give it three pumps and it would fire rtght up. Parts for tuning are easy to find and everyone is an expert! I believe I got most of the parts from Racing Beat But you can also find good used ones...,Rex
