GO with the FCR,,,the others are good carbs but from what I've read and heard from people using the lectron carbs it will take you forever to get the dang thing dialed in...Also I've heard that with the lectrons they don't wanna idle,,you have to always play with the throttle to keep it running,,,and also the FCR is a drop in carb,,,the other 2 require cutting and bending and reshaping intake tubes and the airbox,,,,,I'll be going with the FCR..

I use and recommend the FCR as well...

But if you're dead set on the Lectron or Edelbrock, the Edelbrock is basically an update to the Lectron (which was designed in the '70s).

Sparks builds them for you and includes new throttle cable for $450.

As of Friday there were none built but said wouldn't be a prob getting one out to ya within the week.
