Talking Carter AFB Questions

I just bought a truck 81 scottsdale, it has a 350 with a Weiand intake, and an AFB Competitor 4 barrel on it. 2 things,

#1, would a quadra-toilet or edelbrock/holley give me better mileage than an AFB comp.. I've heard that they dont do good for anything but 4x4 and mud bog, not for mileage.

#2, What would cause the truck to run very rough at a low idle, and "jump" if I barely touch the gas pedal? The guy I bought it from, said that it was something to do with the carb, says hes changed setting on it so it ran perfect at an idle, then drive it, and it would run as bad if not worse than before. (It runs great off an idle)

Ive never owned anything w/o a stock carb on it before, so I have 0 exp with anything other than basically rock-chuckers.

If you listen intently, you can hear a FORD rusting in the distance.
