dumb suggestion, but how about an Edelbrock Quadrajet? Mike runs one on his truck, with a warmed up 350, but i dont see why the carb wouldnt work on a 305 too. JET performance will set a QJet up specifically for your application if i remember correctly, but they arent new carbs, they're remanufactured. Edelbrock carbs are all new, unless you purchase one that's remanufactured (they fofer them, but under a different PN)

I've have a 1406 Eddy on my 305 and I like it. No problems and it runs great!! I have pictures on my web site.
