Just picked up a 292..need a good carb suggestion

Havent seen it yet, but my dad and brother picked up a 292 for me yesterday to replace the busted 327 in my '66. All stock, except for Offenhauser intake and flow tech headers. Doesnt have a carb on it so I'm looking for that now. What's a good carb for this intake? Not planning on trying to make any earth shattering power, just something reliable with a little pep.

Thanks
Jeremy
