I am at the point in my restoration project where it is time to make a 
decision concerning the carburetor, and I can use some advice.  I checked 
with a carb shop about rebuilding the 4300 and they advised that they will 
not rebuild them because of the 2 part bodies and the fact that it is 
impossible to get a good seal again.  They said the best thing to do was 
pitch it and buy a new carb (they do repairs only- no sales).

Question one:   has anyone rebuilt or had the 4300 rebuilt and what kind of 
results did you have??  I have the photos that somebody posted of a step by 
step rebuild, but the text seems to have vanished and I dont know how it 
turned out.

Secondly, as far as replacements go, I would prefer something that will bolt 
on to the stock AMC manifold and will take the stock air cleaner housing.  I 
think that I have seen the Holley 600 mentioned as a suitable replacement.   
Has anyone tried this or any other??  Was it a bolt on that didnt require 
mods?? What about the vacuum lines (pcv, manifold) and fuel lines??  What 
about ease of adjustment??

Thanks.
