I had the original Super B on my '66, it stuck way out, it was hard to get the leg around it. I upgraded to the "shorty", then added the acelerator pump kit (can't remember if it was with the original or shorty). I now have the E on it.
I can't really say one was better than the other for function, they all worked just fine. The accerator pump is a plus, but not that big of a deal either, I have it adjusted way down.

Love the old B's ran them for years but they did have their little quirks.

Yes ... any Butterfly Carb suffers from exactly those Wear Points..The Return spring being extreme is not helping the B.
Shaft holes???? Bushings heal it rather well...and go again.. BTW Slide carbs with Like Same Mileage, suffer "wear" also.. sloppy Sliders are No Fun... Noisy and worser... Sticky
