Steve Wann is the best I know for our Carter AFB/AVS. Perhaps he
would do WCFB's. He put a enormous amount of work in has carbs = Miles more work than I ever did doing them!!!! His work is not free or cheap. My chassis builder told me along time ago: If you want good Oats - You need to pay a good price. Now if Oats already gone thru the cow are OK - You can name your own price.

For years I ran two of those things on my ‘56.
The rear float has a notch in the bottom to clear the rear “secondary” throttle shaft. I ran a rear float (with that notch) in the front, also. More fuel in the bowl. When we went to Super Stock, with big camshafts, I began to see dark spark plugs. Pulled my head out, decided my primary metering rods were not down where they belonged at idle, and on the return road. A wooden match stick standing on the metering rod piston so I could see how the piston & rods were responding. I first clipped the springs, but found it lean going down the track. Metering rods not rising enough at low vacuum/Wide Open. I tweaked that linkage to manually raise the rods to the smallest/Power step on the rods. I finally worked on the profile on the plastic meteor rod “cam”. The carb Pros may have slicker ways, but I set records, and won races like that. No expense. I messed with weaker springs under the P.E. Piston, but never found what I needed at both Sea Level & Altitude tracks. Lower manifold vacuum is effected enough with low Baro values at higher elevations caused caused issues with weaker metering piston springs. Thus I went to raising it manually. Hope this helps somebody.
