It was originally done by Pontiac in the early 70's But he was the the only guy I know of that was milling the top to accept the slider plate.
It sounds like a float level could be high and or the fuel is going past the secondary metering rods because of loose tape or something. I'd stay away from the .149 needle and seat in a qjet. They are pretty sensitive and prone to blowing over unless you run less then 5 1/2 pounds of fuel pressure. A .135 is a good choice, and you can make plenty of power with it.
Dean is also a great guy and a good choice for a carb
