I don't have a core and it seems some require one or else they have a fairly steep core charge.

I checked on Pony and though their website is still up, others have said they are no longer in business. I need a few more suggestions for a vendor. I'm very much set on using a 4100 but there's one more thing. There are a few types of 4100's out there. Which one would be best for a totally stock 292 with a B manifold?

Try staying with a 4100 with the 1.08” venturies. The venturi size number is cast on the left side of the front fuel bowl of the carb. Here’s the writeup on some of the various carbs used on the ECZ-B intake. The 1.08’s do have the edge over the 1.12’s.

i have had no dealings or contact with this company so cannot comment on reliability etc. but they may be of interest. 1.08s are pricey and fly off the shelves. they also had a couple of 1.19s??

I've seen their listings on fleecebay and they seem to have good feedback.

Yes, the Pony Carburetor website is still 'up'. Jon Enyeart, founder and owner of Pony Carburetor, passed on 8/29/11 at the age of 59, succumbing to brain cancer. Everything I've read indicates that the company is closed.

Jon KNEW the Autolite carbs and was a believer and proponent of their attributes. There's some interesting carburetor information on the website. As I recall, in addition to custom restoration of carburetors, he was marketing modified 1.12s having smaller primary venturies (1.00 !) coupled with larger secondary venturies (1.1.8 !). -Kind of an 'internal spread-bore' concept for improved street operation on smaller cubic inch engines. Too, per-the-website, Jon was working on a carburetor of his own design. Perhaps that is what Summit is now selling. -I'm attempting to connect dots with my last statement. Some say Jon spent everything he had pursuing experimental treatments to try to overcome the cancer.
