what carb to get?

OK guys well after 7 years it looks like my Edelbrock is down for the count and I'm told its been hurting me over the years.. my intake is a Edelbrock so what would be a good carb?? my car is a 1987LT with a 305 over 300hp so 600 650cfm?? the Edelbrock is a 600.. would like to keep the throttle-TV cable bracket that i have now..and must have a electric choke

Easiest thing to do would be rebuild the Edelbrock.

An Edelbrock wouldn't be my first choice to put on something but if you're happy with it, I wouldn't be in a hurry to replace it.
