I've heard the currently available Carter BBD type carbs are junk. Is this correct and what is the difference between the these and one that would have come on a 79 CJ? I just paid almost the cost of a new one to have my old one rebuilt by a specialist.

The currently available remans are a very cheap rebuild. The biggest issue with them is the wear around the throttle shaft and allowing enough air to pass through that the idle control screws do nothing to adjust correctly. If yours was correctly rebuilt, with new shafts and bushings/tolerances, then it will adjust and run correctly.
