Time for a new Carb

Not to hijack this thread, but I noticed that no one has suggested using the free AFB carb. Is it a dog? I have a Carter AFB on my 74 Dart and I think it's holding the engine back. I haven't rebuilt it, but here's some of the issues I'm having with it.
  • Fuel bowls empty after sitting for a day, not boiling out I have a wood spacer.
  • No vacuum on the manifold port at idle, acts like it's ported. The ported port works properly.
  • Pretty sure there is no gas being fed to the secondary's when they open. They do open, but the 360 with an eddie intake just doesn't wake up like I expect. I have no idea how to check for gas being fed to the secondaries.
Should I clean and rebuild it or just replace it with one of the suggestions above?
If it wasn't getting fuel through the secondaries when you opened it up it would have a major bog... And it might just fall flat on its face..
I think I would recommend rebuilding the carb that you have if for any reason to learn more about it and how it works. if you get one of the ones recommended above again you'll be just throwing another carb on there trying to cure your problem without any real knowledge of it. At least if you rebuild this one and get another one you'll have a better understanding of the inner workings...
