My other option is the EFI route. Perhaps something liekt eh edelbrock setup mentioned earlier or maybe something else. I don't mind paying to play, but it must be a good setup.
Another thought is why not find a spare carb, rebuild it, then you can swap back if it dont work, a spare carb should be no more than about 15-50.00 depending on condition. There are plenty of them out there too, hell check the parts board here, I bet you can find one with in a hundred miles of where you are, so shipping will be cheap. Also check craigslist.
