Do you mean squirters or boosters? Since you list a few names that seem to be close, I'm assuming that you mean boosters and are trying to decide whethere you need straightleg, downleg or annular. All three are interchangeable, but beware that you need a special tool to change out the boosters. Last time I check, this tool ran close to $200. There may be other ways to install these, but since it is a flare/compression fit I'd be leery of just using a punch and hammer to set them. Call the Holley tech line if you really want some help in deciding which would be best for your carburetor and engine combination.
