Mauro,

Moron was probaly not the word to use.. and it was not aimed at you.. more a
general comment about people putting the laregest carb on a motor thinking
that gives them more power/faster car.

However you seem to be asking very open ended questions that are not really
going to give you a focused result.

Perhaps instead of asking what's the "best" as ultimately that is
subjective, perhaps specify your engine setup and ask what a good carb is
for that and give an indication of intended use.

I know as does everyone else as you go on at length that you are putting a
MKII 289 in your engine bay.. and you are not near stock FYI.. but given you
are running a MKII iron head motor and given you have not said you are
putting large valves, roller rockers or other performance mods other than
perhaps a mild cam jabbing a large holley on the car is only going to make
it thirsty and on the street slower than you would be with a better sized
carb.. the CFM rates relate to the amount the carb will flow.. there are
good graphs to point you in the right direction for what suits your car,
also you say you have the stock igntion.. arent you planning on changing it
from stock to modified given you quest for the "best" ingntion setup?

The list is a great resource, it helps lots of people, and in theory the
only dumb quesiton is the one not asked, however.. the more open ended the
question the more open ended the answers and thats not really gogin to help
you or anyone.

As a side noet you mention a 5.0 or a 302.. they are the same capactity
engine ;-)
