It takes time to do it right plus a gasket ( rebuild ) kit. oh yeah and patience if your doing it yourself. For the time line you are on, you would be money ahead to go get some new Demons, Holleys or Quick Fuel Technology carbs and have some nice stuff on there brand new. Don't forget fuel feed setups when you order.
I agree with Jason here. If you have the coin, now is a good time to file the Q-Jets and move up to a set of Holleys.

QFT and Holley, Usually Jegs, Affordable and in stock quickly ships, Demons also from Jegs however you can call them at Barry Grant and let em in on what cam and engine you have etc. and they usually have the exact suggestion of what you need. Alot of the demons and qft come with bowl sight glasses, billet metering plates and base plates, Screw in air bleeds, etc. they are nice. Again be sure to address your fuel feed situation, and check for obstruction to the throttle blades once installed ( so they don't hit intake and not fully open,....it happens )
