Holleys are just a little simpler and more crude in terms of operation over the Carter design. If they work for you best, great. It doesnt matter who made the carb. You can make the same power when the carb, any carb, is properly set and matched to the combo.
I'm using 2 Edelbrock 750's because the Nostalgia Super Stock rules require me to. Never have hard start or hesitation situations. They've always worked great.

I never figured out why but both the new Eddy 750 and 600 I bought had hard strat issues when hot. To pinpoint I:
1). Put a 1/2 inch phenolic spacer under the carb and wrapped the new steel fuel line I ran from the pump to the carb. As directed by Eddy's techs. 2).I checked the heat riser valve to make sure that was open. 3).I did pop the top on the 600 and readjusted the float bowls to Eddy's specs. They were out of spec. 4).I ran fuel line hose only from the pump to the carb to totally get rid of the steel. This an attempt to put everything back the way it was before I got the Eddy 750. 5). Took my Carter AFB off my 68 Bee and put it on my 69. Issue went away.No hard start when hot. 6). Put a fuel pressure regulator on with gage and set to 4.5 psi with the Eddy 600 back on. Still no hot start. 7). Rebuilt the old 600 Holley that I took off my 69 to replace with the Eddy 750. Have ran the car now for almost a week. No hard start problems.
I only gave up on the Eddy 600 after almost getting stuck somewhere and not being able to get the car started. I had a hard time with the fact that 2 new carbs were doing the same thing. But.... 2 old carbs work on this car. 2 different brands also. After all this I'm going with a Holley.

I've run 3310s on mild 360s, it'll work great on a 383, even a stock 383. There are quit a few that had issues with the street avanger, its been all over these boards, the 3310 is tried & true, the only other T&True is the 600 1850, be he will be much happier with the 750 on that 383 IMO, but to each his own i guess.

The 4160 series 600 on it now seems to work pretty well. I was just thinking of going for one a little bigger.

You will be impressed up-grating to the 3310 over the 600 1850 on that 383, not that the 600 won't work, but you'll get power all around with the 750. Obviously you must have noticed an improvement with the larger Eddy carb despite its issues, thats why your wanting more CFM. If you go on e-bay, you can find a bunch of good used 3310 750s for cheap, I got mine for 113.00 to my door, & it was hardly used, its alot cheaper going this way then buying new.

I see what you mean about buying used but that's a 50/50 proposition. You take your chances on a carb. Like the guy that used to have my 69 bought a model # correct Carter from a swap meet and was told it was ready to go. NOT.What kind of money is a 3310 750 new? I agree, even with the Eddy's hot start issues that jump to the 750 made this 383 haul A--. That's why I'm considering a new carb still to get more CFM.

That Holley 3310 series 750 appears to be comparable cost wise to the Edelbrocks in the Jegs catalog.
