I have used TP on my cars on and off for over 50 years and have not found them more trouble prone than any other type carb. Everything from my 287 1955 Chieftain to a 455 powered 1963 Chevy PU. In fact the worst carb that I found over the years for flooding and leaking is the popular dual feed Holley. As for rebuilding your carbs if you don't want them recoated there is no reason that if you are careful you can't do them yourself. Follow all the instructions and measure carefully. If you run into a problem ask for help and you should be all set. It's not brain surgery. Just make sure everything is CLEAN. If you have a compressor blow out every passage with a blow gun. If not buy a can of compressed air like the computer guys use. Good luck.
