I have said it many times New does not equal Good anymore. Check everything, including how flat the head surface is. I know of 3 brand new Holley 4bbl carbs that had the same passage way not drilled at the factory that prevented them from working correctly.
I also would suggest Best composite gaskets over the copper ones.
