First time rebuilding carbs.

Hello All,
When buying a kit to rebuild your carbs, is there one brand better than others? I'm also assuming they all come with pretty good instructions. Is there anything to watch out for? I'll be doing a 79' model 2 barrel then maybe moving up to a 85' 4 barrel. These are both stock Motorcraft carbs.

Thanks for any info.

I'm most familiar with Hygrade Jiffykits.

I think they are decent, though I don't know much about others. I would assume that (if you could find one or if they even exist) a kit actually produced by the Carb's manufacturer would be the best bet (edelbrock kit for edelbrock/carter carb), Holley for Holley, etc. Probably only available like that for their performance models; wouldn't really expect to find a Holley kit for a 1barrel holley carb, for example.
