The straw that broke my back is this darn whistling sound that is coming from inside of the this rebuilt carb. It happens right at where I want to be idling. You adjust the idle ~100 rpms either way and it goes away. Think "tea kettle" sound. And it is not coming from some leaking around the carb either.

Don't know what to do or what I did wrong asking for what I wanted done from Quadrajet Power :'(
Sounds like the more you fix it, the broker it gets.. The base gasket is probably used up from all the back and forth carburetor changing...
