Matchbox float chambers hold less fuel. I used one many years ago - they fit in well with twin type 6 or similar Amals and look good. I got rid of the one I had. A big diameter float chamber seems to be better -the fuel level probably rises and falls to give better resilience as you accelerate. But in the end I think the hole at the float needle might be smaller in the matchbox carb.Yes I did the same. Double taps and banjo's. And fuel taps like this which are available in a range of internal IDS
When I bought my Mk2 Amals from Mick Hemmings, I requested alcohol kitted. When I first used them, the anti vibe rubbers cracked, everything else was good - except the needles, needle jets and main jets. You will always need to correct those whatever carbs you buy. Slides are almost always #3.
