Rebuilt Edelbrock, yea or nay

Me personally for my wife's 66 barracuda I think I just bought one (Edelbrock 1406) off of Craigslist for a hundred bucks and it worked fine. Either that or that was the one that I put on my son's truck and drove to Colorado and gave it to him.. one of the two was one that was given to me by a friend for like 10 bucks and sat on his shell forever till he couldn't think of anything else to do with it but give it to me... I recommended it because it's a simple carburetor and usually when set correctly you can forget about it...
