Trying to decide weather to rebuild original carb on my 83 or a Holley 1850 I acquired. Car has been sitting since 2011 with ethanol gas in it. Took carb bowls off lots of rust

I've drove different cars with non factory carbs & the stock 4180 on my old 83 Capri was the best...
Current rides:
89 LX 5.0, 5 -spd..the Lemon
86 RS Capri 5.0 Auto...
86 LX Colorado SSP 5.0 5-spd (Sadly Sold)
85.5 SVO, Finally Got Boost
83 RS Capri 5.0, 5-spd (another sadly sold)
The 4180 carb has annular primary boosters which really help with fuel atomization and, in turn, throttle response. There are a few guys on here that have found a carb through Summit that also has annular primary and secondary boosters they have been happy with. To answer your question between the 2...the 4180 hands down...
HAD
'82 GT monochromatic (red)...black cloth
HAVE
'85 GT vert two tone (white on charcoal)...white leather
'00 F350 two tone (white on silver)...gray cloth
'00 Excursion Limited two tone (white on tan)...tan leather...wifes ride
'08 Taurus Limited ice blue...tan leather...daughter ride
'08 Edge Limited white sand tri-coat metallic...tan leather...other daughters ride
84.5 GT Convertible Build Thread
86 LX Coupe
Ok that’s kinda the way I was leaning. Guess I’ll order the rebuild kit
Sonic cleaner is a good investment. All emissions era Carter and Rochester Spreadbores and Holley 4165/4175 and our beloved 4180Cs are totally chocked with oxide or particulates if they have been in service.
Not everyone is a work with your hands guru, but a sonic cleaner and some time studying Walking Talls 4180 C carb reguvination...it will give you confidence and some ace smarts.
Keep the R1850 as a stand in carb. Holley 4180 C and 4150/4160 series back-up here on this site is exceptional.
