65 barracuda 273 commando

Thank you all for the tips regarding my carb. It sounds like the safer thing to do is have my existing carb rebuilt. The reason why I wanted an Eddy is because it comes with an auto-choke. If I let the car sit for a few days, the fuel filter is empty and it take about 20-25 pumps to the accelerator and 5-7 min of cranking to get it started. There's no choke on the existing Carter because the carb partially covers the hole for the temp sensitive spring for the choke.
