Not too difficult to tune either. The knock-offs are a crap shoot, but the cost is so low they are worth the risk. Seems as though you can get them in two different configurations, but I believe both will work just fine.

But I also agree with Dave, it's not worth spending big bucks on your stock carb. If you are hell bent on using a stocker, I would risk the $80 bucks on the ebay slide. If it doesn't work, write it off to experience. Your stock carb isn't worth investing $200 bucks in for an OEM slide. You can see from your pics that your stocker has seen the acid dip one too many times. BTW, that main jet is a 152.5. That thing has really been abraded.
If you are game for spending big cash, and you want top-notch stuff that's pretty much plug-n-play, get in touch with Lancer for one of his VM kits.
Mike, that is exactly what I'm looking for! Half the price of even just the cheap slide, easy enough to set up with the recommended jet sizes, and straightforward tuning after that. I read through that entire post and there's no serious modifications to make. I'm definitely not looking for top notch gear, I just want the thing to run when I do get it out. I'll be ordering this soon and let you know how it goes.
Fyi, the main jet in my picture is all scuffed up because I hit it with a wire wheel to clean some of the tarnish off for the pic. Tried to make it easier to see, but I made it worse
