I would replace it with a new Edelbrock Q-jet. Properly tuned, it should not make a difference in fuel economy. A 780 CFM Q-jet meters fuel as it needs, if your foot is not in it you should get about as good a mileage as you can. Q-jets are very good carbs. Rebuilds usually suck but the new ones are nice. Contrary to popular belief they are easy to tune.
