See 12.2 ET Sig....my 9.0:1 470 needed the 1050 to idle, and certainly needed the Choke attached to thero-Spring to Start and Idle.

Any, all Q-JETs from 65-70 that i rebuilt would not start and idle. So i tried a pig-rich mod on the idle air bleeds and saw some improvement but the 1050 seemed better.

Solution:my 2 cents; more compression or less cam(dunno your specs), or maybe a 1972-1978 Q-JET has an improved chance of good start and idle on your 9.3:1. Oh, confer with CLIFF.
