Anybody use the NAPA Echlin line of carb kits? On my Mercarb, they looked it up and would have to order the Sierra part at 65$ or it crossed to the Echlin that was on the shelf for 35$? They said it was a direct cross so it should be exactly the same, but something makes me wonder why its basically half the money. I looked online and the instruction sheet is specifically for the Mercarb but I still wonder about quality of parts or if they are all the same and just boxed differently. I can get the NAPA for 35$, Sierra online for about 50$ or Mercruiser online for 65$.

Any thoughts....?
