Default 1979 mgb

I just bought my wife a 1979 MGB, (shh its a secret) for our 35th anniversary, birthday, Christmas and everything else. It has 50,000 miles on it. I know very little about them. It idles rough and slow, some what hard starting, cranks slow with a 12.5v battery alternator is doing 13.4v when running at idle. I think the carb needs rebuilt am I right? Drives great. It has a zenith-Stromberg 175 cd-2 carb.
Is there anyone in the Indianapolis area good with these that doesn't charge like its a Porsche? Thanks
