Wolly, I'm not arguing just for the sake of arguing, but I am going to respectfully disagree with you and say that anyone selling rebuilt carburetors on eBay is not a "professional". I've bought a carburetor from ehrmannmp and was thoroughly not impressed with it. It was a 1.08 bore Motorcraft 2150, I stripped it for parts and recycled the rest. The 1.14 that I bought was also from another eBay carb guy who goes by GottaFishCarburetors, it was in a little better shape but still needed attention.
I've also ran a 2bbl DEMON carburetor that I picked up from a guy on craigslist back in VA, it would make that engine scream, no questions, but it wasn't the right carb for a low RPM engine like the AMC L6 is.
I do agree with you, the design of the Autolite/Motorcraft Carburetor makes it an outstanding offroad / off camber carb.
