Most of us who've upgraded to the Edelbrock 1409 have found them to be straight bolt-on's....with next-to-no tuning at all.
Although Holly's are often considered to be a better performance carb, they usually require more tuning.
You can find the 1409's in the $300 range on most performance sites (jegs, etc.). I actually ordered mine through a local Pep Boys (same price as the best deal I'd found online). |

i went with the 1409's too and i'm very pleased.
Amazon.com has them too and free shipping. |
