The Ford Barn

I have a '44 2N tractor with a '50 8BA V8. Built in '17. Bone stock rebuild with .030 over pistons and stock truck cam. Stock Loadmatic distributor. Timed at 2 degrees (pin to line) with hardline to distributor capped. The carb was in bad shape when I got it. I have gone through it a few times but it really isn't right. It runs and idles but has always been rich. I am considering a new China 94 but with adding a genuine Holley power valve and jets. My application is a bit unique in that I don't really change throttle setting continuously like a car. I almost don't need an accelerator pump.

So how bad could that be for my application? I don't really want a China carb but I need it running at it's best next Friday. Thoughts?
