Get a new carb or rebuild

Any thoughts on whether I should buy a new carb or keep the original and have it rebuilt for a stock 402. Are the originals worth fixing ? Rochester 750cfm and if not what is a reliable one to purchase that wont break the bank.

Rebuild the original. I could show you how. I'm not that far away. Any replacement would be a square bore and would need an adaptor or different intake.

Rebuild for sure...But if you go new I will buy the original to help pay for the new one.
