So I have 1966 Polara with a 318 Poly. Car originally came with a stromberg carburetor. When I bought the car in 2004 the carb was rebuilt. In 2007 I replaced it with a Holley 2280. I honestly don't remember why. I can only assume I was having issues with the stromberg and went with the mechanic's recommendation.
I have been having doubts about this Holley carb. Haven't been able to fine tune it to a point that I'm happy with. I still have the old stromberg carb and was toying with idea of having it rebuilt again and putting that back in.
Today, the car stalled out on me and when I got it restarted I found the reason for the stall. Fuel was coming out of the vent tube onto the manifold. Scary. I assume there's a problem with the float or the needle.
Now here's where I need the advice.
Option 1. Fix whatever's wrong with the Holley.
Option 2. Rebuild the stromberg.
Option 3. Get another carb. There are 4 different ones that are supposed to fit my application from Advanced. They are all "Autoline" brand. Says made in Canada. They range in price from $158 to $450.
Questions:
Does anybody have experience with Autoline carbs?
What's justifies such a wide range in price for carbs from the same company?
What would you do if you were me?
Here's the links to the 4 auto line carbs:

Thanks in advance (pardon the pun).
