Default stromberg or 94

as you may remember, I was having a hard time trying to get
a carb that worked correctly and the way it should, after trying,
unsuccesfuly, to get the 94 rebuilt, I tried the stromberg I had
hanging in the shop, after two rebuilds by two differant people,
still not right, so uncle max in ut. offered to redo the stromberg
and Charlie in n.y. offered to redo the 94, well I now have them
both back and have tried them both on my engine and can not
decide which one to use, they both work perfect and the car runs
better than it ever has with either one. so compared to the problem
I was having, this is a welcome dilamma.. so if you have a 94 or
a 97, I highly recommend either of these guys

I have a Coke and a Pepsi. They both taste good, but I can't decide which one to drink.

Seriously, I'm glad you got good service and now have two good carbs. If you're looking for an opinion that one is better, there's lots of opinions on both. Run the 97 in odd numbered years and the 94 for the evens.

I can make the decision which one I prefer, I was really just making
conversation and giving praise to the two guys that helped me
with this problem, I know opinions are like A-HOLES everybody

I'm hooked on Pepsi Throwback (made with real sugar). I also like 97s, but I'm running 48s. No disrespect to the 94 though, and if you have that load-a-matic distributor, you really have no choice.
