You definetly want to make sure those carbs have been jetted properly for a legend car.  I am familiar with dyno-jet and red line needles. there are several clip positions on the needles, this is an important setting also.

No needle needle seats cannot be interchanged. You must use the fuel pump seat with a fuel pump or they will leak.

Here is a carb kit that replaces every screw & o-ring in the carbs.

what i meant is you can put fuel pump needle and seats in the gravity feed carbs..the only difference is the hole in the seat is smaller in the feul pump seats
