Howdy Back Thor and All:
The 1101 Autolites were 1st used in Ford cars and trucks on the 223 six beginning in 1963. The 262 six in trucks got this carb in 1964 only. It was used in the 1969 250 sixes in Mustangs.
You are right about not using an 1100 with a SCV with your '68 distributor. You can plug the SCV hole and run your distributor with manifold vacuum. It will give you very high advance at highway cruise/ high vacuum.
You may have to try several different rebuilder sources to find the correct rebuilt. I have not experienced your problems with the 1100/1101s. The worst problem I've had to confront was a cross-threaded fuel inlet which was solved by some thread clean-up with a tap and some paint on teflon stuff.
The venturi on the Autolite 1100 is plastic and removeable/replaceable. The 1.1" venturis were used in all 170s in '64, Calif emisions- 200s with manual trans in '66, both Manual and auto trans C/E in '67. All 200s got the 1.1" venturi in 1968 and 1969, which was the last year for the 1100s. These '68 & '69 1100 did not have a SCV. Finding a 200 with a 1.2" venturi insert and installing it into a '68 1100, and some '69 1100 body may be the best solution for you. Some '69 1100 got the wide base and bolt flange, same as the 1101. If you have what you need it may be the least expensive option.
My 1101s do not have a removable venturi. It measures 1.2".
You may want to disassemble your 1100 cores and measure the inner diameter of the plastic insert venturi to determine what you already have. Pull and save the jets, too.
The heartache is that you can't tell from the outside what you have. All 1100, whether for a 144, a 170 or a 200 look about the same. The auto trans versions have a extra dash pot as an anti stall extra.
I do not know much about the Holley #1904 except that is was used on cars and trucks with the 223 six from '59 to '62. I believe it is also a SCV carb. but I don't know for sure. I have had no first hand experience with this carb.
The Holley #1940 was a replacement carb listed by FoMoCo as a replacement for 1100s when they were no longer being made, and for Carter YFs too. It is a general application, one-size-fits-all solution. I don't know about the throttle bore or bolt spacing.

After using an adaptor with my autolite 2150, I'm convinced the cost and of the adaptor and carb and hassle of making a working linkage setup is not worth it for me until I rebuild my 200 and open up the intake. I've heard enough from others here that the linkage deal is a hassle- I'm waiting for somebody to make a kit!
it may not be a bolt on. IF your linkage is made of multiple pieces, then it's not as simple as the mid-60's 'Stang. I know the 60 - 63 Falcons are a pain to adapt the existing linkage, and is the reason one should go with a cable setup instead. I don't know if this holds true for the squarebody Falcons.
