Carburetor Woes!!!

[americanmusc1e]

OK, right now my truck (383, vortec heads, 230 @ .050 cam) has a 600 Holley 4160 that I bought new about 2 years ago. I have had problems with the Holley ever since it was new. (float hangs and it starts flooding out of the boosters) and I have been told that it is too small for my 383.

so I pulled a Q-jet of of our '69 c10 and started to see if I could rebuild it. the secondary throttle plates were rusted shut, but after a lot of work i managed to get them free and I'm starting to piece the carburetor back together now. the carburetor is badly oxidized from sitting out in the weather and it has some wear on the primary throttle shafts.

SO, I started looking on ebay, and I found some pretty cheap edelbrock 750 carbs (1407) and a lot of the descriptions say that they were taken off 383's because they were to big for a 383.

so what should I do:

Keep the 600 Holley?

Rebuild the Q-jet?

get a 750 edelbrock?

get a 600 edelbrock?

OK, one last thing, I'm on a tight budjet and i don't have much money. So don't tell my to buy a BG Demon or a JET Q-jet.
