Which carburetor to use, Rochester or Carter?

Shouldn’t need constant adjustments.
Might be a fuel pressure problem or level setting.

Changing to either new carb might not help. I think either one needs a max of 5psi.

Have you tried setting fuel level about 1/8 inch lower?
Where in the sw are you located?

Hi. I live in AZ. Fuel pressure is plenty good, not sure what " Level Setting " is, can you explain? Both Primary and Secondary floats are set with a little fuel leaking out like manufacture recommends. When setting the floats lower than level with the site plug, truck would stall with moderate braking. A little more history of my current setup...... A hot rod buddy of mine jetted down and placed this 650 Holley on my 283. He put a sniffer at the tail pipe and all the numbers fell within smog specs. I am not a skinny pedal stomper and am not looking for super high performance, I am really just looking to go back to as stock a set up as I can. Thanks
