If you are rebuilding it on a frequent basis, then there is something not right in the build or is being missed with the parts you are using.

Personally, (my opinion only) I would contact Cliff at Cliff's high performance Quadrajet's before I would put an Edelbrock on that car. I am betting he can help you out to your satisfaction and guarantee it as well.

He needs to give us more info. What's it doing, when is it doing it, what does he consider a rebuild, has it been correctly diagnosed, what else has been done besides the carb?????

Edelbrock actually used to make Q-jets, but stopped a while ago.. -Otherwise -if you want a new carb you could go for a new q-jet from summit or jegs ??

Btw, i have a Edelbrock 800 cfm AVS (for 434 cui) , and it is an easy carb to 'work' on, but th Q-jet's are awesome when dialed in, both in economy and performance..

I would recommend a vacuum-secondary carb, in any case.. (the avs/eps Edelbrocks are mechanical BTW)...
