carburetor replacement

I have a '60 with the inline 6 and need to replace the carb. Anybody have a good recommendation for a modern replacement?

Nothing wrong with the Holley 1904's they came with when in good condition. Easy to rebuild.

Mine has been rebuilt more than once and is needing to be replaced.
I was hoping somebody had a recommendation for a modern replacement.
The ones I see for sale are parts only and the asking price for a used unit are outrageous

Why do you think it needs replaced? You can pretty much rebuild them as many times as you need to. Every 5 years or so isn't that far-fetched. Rebuild with parts straight from Holley for best results. I wouldn't change it unless I knew for sure it was bad.

What is wrong that is causing the need for replacement. That's a solid carburetor and almost everything on it can be repaired or combned with a parts carburetor to make a good, useable unit.

If you must have a replacement carburetor, a rebuilt unit is available through Rock Auto as Autoline C716. I think I would use that over the new units available on Ebay.

I put a Brazilian Universal carburetor on mine that seems okay. I have not driven it much though. Mine had a wrong carburetor but I had the same problem finding a Holly. Sky high prices for unknown condition.
