"Junk" isn't a helpfull description of the carb issues you are having.
You may very well not "need" to replace it.
60 miles is the round trip, 30 there, 30 back. The reason a Holley seemed a better fit is they seem to look and act more like the old q-jet, while being new and not a rebuild. I'll definitely say carburators are not my strong suit. The Edelbrock is pulling air and running lean, no amount of adjustment seems to remedy it. I have had two ppl I trust tell me the eddy 600's are not at all reliable. It was on the truck when I bought it. My thinking is that if I buy a new one while I actually have ghe money to do so will save my the next 6 mo's of chasing mg tail with it and pouring nickles and dimes into it, which always adds up to big money.
