Default 411 S4 Carburettor

My 411 S4 (1975) needs a carburettor overhaul. It has a Carter Thermoquad unit fitted with I guess is original. The primary slow running jets are working intermittently, causing hesitation on initial acceleration. Overhaul kits are available but I noticed Summit Racing in the US have "remade" units available at a reasonable price. Has anyone here tried these from Summit? There is no electronic choke, so would have to transfer the current one.

I recall some discussion on this forum some time ago about switching to Holley or Edelbrock units, but feel concerned about the linkages and height of these compared to the TQ. Thoughts anyone?
