It has been my finding that the side draft 45DCOE make the B a most 
unwelcome beast for daily driving.  The down draft seems to work well.  As 
for power, the DCOE makes a different car out of the B.  Much more pick up 
and overall power.  Mileage goes to pot.  A well tuned set of HS4s or 
HIF 4s are really teh way to go if you can.  They are a good all around 
carb for a daily driver, and the downdrafts tend to run rich during state 
emission testing.
