Avoid the later computer controlled carbs! They're hard to defeat!
You can get a new replacement from Holley, though it aint cheap, around $380.00, but heck, it's new (not rebuilt) and you'll never have to worry about it again!
I'm running an Edelbrock 1406 on my 79 360, and it works just fine, and under $230.00! Carter AFB is very similar to the Edelbrock (nearly no difference) but costs a few bucks less.
NOTE: these aftermarket carbs require a 1" phenolic spacer below them to clear the EGR valve.
I do know of a guy who has 100's of TQ's which he MAY sell. Post back if curious.
