Depends on who you ask, I'd like to try a 390cfm Holley myself, the Jam Eng replacement carb model they use is not well thought of by anyone other than desperate Solex owners, and the webber is just tiny and very seldom reported to really work correctly either, though you can actually get parts for it. And it costs twice what it ought to. The Holley ain't cheap either. With enough tuning and patience a quadrajet with a manual choke conversion I think would work as well. Other's have gone different routes, from junkyard generic 2 barrel's on up, they all work to one degree or another. I haven't committed to anything because of the "maybe" factor and not wanting to give up what little power the US spec M110 has by going smaller than the Solex.
