Im lookin for good gas mileage, four barrell, easy to rebuild and low  maintainance carberator for 272/292 range Y block. Something easy to find used that I can put a kit in and wont break the bank. Just a daily driver type carberator with simplicity and quality. I know you guys will give me some good recommendations. Thanks for all your help.

Hey Charlie, Im going to pull the plug and order the Summit Carb Part # SUM-M08600VS or the Edelbrock 500 performer for my 272 (Daily driver stock engine). Im having a hard time making up my mind which way to go. Anyone else who can offer some guidance, please chime in.
