Which to rebuild and confusing stamps

That's my intention but rather wondering if I should tinker with the internals too while I have it/them apart. Maybe set one up for std and one for a little more "go" and swap over when get a new manifold. A set of headers is on the cards straight away as std manifolds wont fit anymore with new engine bay shape etc.
Should I just go for the sr kit (for the mild as is set up) or should I splash out a little more (for the livened up engine)? May as well pay for postage once... :-\
HeathD:
Will be running on 91 octane gas too.
HeathD:
Any benefit to the more expensive kit over the cheaper one?
These carbs have an unknown history so not sure of their current internal setup or condition.
Cliff Ruggles:
I'd build the 17057504. I'd get the SR kit, and add a few tuning parts to it. I'd also consider the E-choke upgrade for what you are doing. We ship overseas daily, best to email the shop at cliffshp@embarqmail.com...thanks...Cliff
HeathD:
Scored a couple of carbs for $50 today. One off a 305 with elec plug in the top with elec choke (17085292 2504 HMJ) and one off a 350 (17080512 1153 CRX).
I figure they are good for parts and maybe a rebuild or two. Elec choke is a nice bonus (just bought one from Cliff so now I have a spare - if it works that is).
Both are in a poor state - surface corrosion and in need of a serious soaking of CRC or WD40.
Still extra bits for the parts box/shelf and maybe I can sell a refurbished one to cover other costs.
Not sure if it is worth redoing the electric 305ci carb (maybe refurbish all repairable carbs to 350ci spec is best).
