    What brand carb rebuild kit for my Looper?

    I need to rebuild the carbs on my 87 V6 Looper (Carbs off of a 300V8 though).

    Which brand carb kit is good and which should I absolutely not buy?

    Thanks

    That's funny right there. I'm *almost* a good mechanic, so maybe aftermarket is better for me?

    OEM it is then.

    I've seen discussion about side plate air leaks and using a washer.

    My side plates have two screws, one at the top and one at the bottom. Any recommended improvement for that set-up?

    Ok. I just went on eBay and ordered Titan brand kits. All 6 kits for like 90$. They were complete kits, all assembled well. No problems. I did use a washer on the side plate. It seemed to pull down much better.
