Replacement Carb for a 1983 2.8

I've got a 1983 S-10 with the 2.8 with Varijet carb. This carb has been rebuilt once, and, now needs it again. Is there another carb that will adapt to this engine that's more reliable??

I might be wrong, but I would imagine that it's the same carb as my 85. I've never heard about any reliablility problems with this setup.

If you want more power, with a 4 barrel you can get a non EGR intake manifold from Edelbrock, model # 3789 (I believe) then bolt on a Holley 390cfm carb model # 4160

Oh I forgot to mention the stock chevy carb is a little weird, and I've never seen or heard of any stock style replacement.

i just rebuilt my carb a few days ago and its not that hard and it runs alot better. i would rather spend the $20 to rebuild it than the $300 for a new carb
