I was wondering if any of you had experience with either or hopefully both the Holley HP series main body 134-300 and the Proform main body 67100?

My dilemma is this I'm trying to piece together a tunnel ram set up and I bought a really nice 4779-9 with the date stamp of 2832. I just bought another nice 4779-9 with a date stamp of 0572, both carbs have the same metering blocks but the main body casting is different. To my understanding the date stamps mean one was manufactured on the 283rd day of 2002 and the other was the 57th day of 2002. So at this point I either keep looking for a match and sell one or just buy 2 HP style main bodies so I can have adjustable air bleeds in case I need them and a little more flow that probably won't matter for my combination.
Any comments, good bad other or do you have a matching 4779-9/2832 main body to sell cheap. LOL
Thanks,
Loren
