    Hell no don't get a new stock carb. At worst rebuild yours.

    if you're set on a new carb, go weber... it's cheaper than a rebuilt stocker, and is a half-decent performance UPGRADE

    I'm with those guys....... don't replace - UPGRADE!
    I think you need someone who knows the 3gs to help you out. I'm sure any one of us would be happy to come and help you if you flew us out there....... j/k
    go for the weber at least man; if all else fails at least you have better performance, and you can spend the money on something else
    Good luck!

    If you want I can ship out my guages and efi throttle body to CAROTMAN then he's going to send me a stock manifold and carburetor... I still haven't goten around to doing it though. Oh I still have the weber and no one has paid for it yet... I thought poscarb was going to buy it if he doesn't then you can buy mine for 75 and then get and adapter plate for $50 or I can try to hack up the one I have now to get rid of the spacer...
