Best rebuild kit/gaskets for Edelbrock 1407 Performer Carb rebuild?

[MykeNytemare]

So, after solving one problem, I move onto the next. There is definitely an issue with the tuning on my carb since I got the car, so I plan to take apart the car, clean it, and rebuild it with the proper jetting and fix the float issue (car stalls after heavy braking or taking an incline quickly). I plan to get the edelbrock calibration kit so I have the right metering rods and jets, but....

I definitely want to get gaskets that will withstand the ethanol in the gas as I live in Long Island and there are no gas stations to get real gas. I see some places also sell steel accelerator pumps to eliminate the weaker plastic factory one. Some even have BRASS FLOATS!!!

I see the edelbrock kit, and various kits on ebay, but do not have much knowledge on brands as I have only rebuilt motorcycle carbs. Is the edelbrock kit made for ethanol? I want to rebuild this once and not have to worry about it again.

Any input would be helpful

i'd use the edelbrock 1477 rebuild kit. i've never had an issue with the edelbrock accelerator pump and ethanol blended gas. the 1407 should have brass floats.
