These have been extremely popular with the antique car enthusiasts for several years to replace O.E. carbs from the early 1930's.
The carbs are available; but not in the price range most wish to spend when they are used to Rochester pricing.
As far as rebuilding yours: do it! Kits are readily available, and the carbs are MUCH easier to rebuild than the Rochesters. There are a couple of possible issues concerning both stuck accelerator pumps or the pressed in check valves; but both are easily overcome.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |
