ned some help confirming a decision. m current 2 bbl holley is crapping out, a rebuild kit is wayyyyyyyyyy over priced over 120.00 bucks. so i can buy a new 2bbls off amaon for 80. or i can pull my 4 bbl sqauare bore intake and put this one one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR7MYJ53/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3TZ1JDR687ILM&psc=1 either way i go i have to replace the coolant temp sensor, the 4bbl intake needs new freeze plugs and a cleaning,(been sitting in a shed over a few years) so what would you do?

why is the carb crapping out ? maybe it just needs cleaning and a once over, not a total rebuild.
this carb is not a edelbrock, its some kind of copy, what ever you do i would stay away from this one

where do you live ? phoenix AZ ? thats a big car townanything cheaper that will do the trick? i dont have that in my budget right now
have you checked if there are any local car swap meets ? or craigslist? or even any hoarders around that horde cars.
swap meets are great to find used carbs, most classic car guys have the fuel injection bug and are looking to get reid of their carbs.

is it larger
where the OEM is mounted is the most accurate place to rear temp. at that spot it is reading the water temp after fulling going through the engine.
can you find an adapter that would let you mount it there ?
is it larger or smaller ? then the OEM
