Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?

Not rude at all - wrote it for a purpose. I'm doing what i can to learn and i'd be very very very interested how to learn to rejet and understand power valves like Mike69cuda stated. I do all my work myself and enjoy it, too.
If you have the want-to, and enjoy it, you'll get it. Me personally, I'd scratch the "buying another carb" until I dug deeper into what you have. I'd remove it from the car, take it apart, make notes of what you have for jets, float height, etc. Post pictures, that helps us a lot.
