So same vehicle as my previous question, 52 chevy 3100 with a 75 nova front suspension clip and 5.7 Liter V8 engine. The vehicle prior to me owning it had sat for at least 2 years without being run. The time it was run before I had it, it was moved to the front for a wedding, how long it sat before I have no idea. My question is should I rebuild or replace the Edlebrock 4 barrel that is on the engine. It surprisingly starts fine in the morning but any time after, it will take quite a bit and sometimes will backfire on the occasion.

Gotta love that 350 small block! Literally the most simple engine ever built. My husband has one in his 83 G20, and in our boat (5.7 Mercruiser - marine version, but fully backwards compatible). If our boat breaks, my husband has an extra engine for his van. And vice versa.
But to answer your question, definitely get a remanufactured carb. Research the company though.
I'd probably take a shot at rebuilding it. Probably plugged up with gum and varnish from sitting.
