holley 4180 vs 4160

what are the differences between a holley 4180 and a universal 4160 600cfm w/ electric choke.

I need to replace the 4180 on my 460 and the price between the two is almost $200

I don't need a kickdown, the truck is a manual.

The 4180 is an emissions carb. It has a few little design differences like the vacuum passages are in a little different spots, jets screw in at an angle, and it prevents internal flooding somehow. All the others i dont remember, but i read this from a hot rod article some guy put on the internet here

here is the high quality version that you can actually read

Maybe the carb can be rebuilt, what is it doing?

The 4180's are geared more for emissions and economy. The 4160 will provide a little more power and adjustability.
