My recommendation - buy a rebuild kit based on the carb you -should- have,
as long as it appears similar to the one that should be on your car. The
majority of the carbs in a series were very similar, save for jetting
changes and the like. The rebuild kit should have the parts you need to
either keep it original specs or return it to original specs.
The top and bottom gaskets should all be very similar across the series.
