What Should I Do With This Carb?

[stu in wichita]

I'm not sure what direction to go with the carb I pulled from my '61 Ranchero 170.

Here's what I know about it:
1. It's a Holley
2. The FoMoCo tag reads Series-APD, Type 1AA, Date B
3. Under the float bowl is this number - 6R2129.
4. It looks just like the one in the '61 TSM which they identify as CIDE-9519-C, so I assume it was the original carb.

Here's what I don't know about it:
1. Where can I find a kit? The numbers I have don't look like anything that's listed.
2. I'm putting it on a 64 model 170. Will it work without a lot of modification? I'm not trying to stay original, but I haven't ever dealt with the Load-O-Matic system. Plus, I don't have the '61 distributor.
3. Next year I'll put a mildly built 200 in the car. Should I go ahead and replace the carb with something else now?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I think this carb is also known as a 1904, or 1908 maybe. I still haven't come up with a kit. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I should post this under a different topic? :

Mine has the spark control valve like that shown in the inset, plus it's manual choke, not auto. It's the same as is shown in the TSM, so I don't think it's unusual at all.

My goal is to get this motor going for now with the least effort and expense. But since I'm striking out on finding a kit, I wonder if I should just get a different carb. Or maybe go ahead and get the carb that I'll eventually put on the 200.

Yep, that's it. For some reason, I haven't ran across any of these items, either on-line or in the store. Weird, huh?

Anyway, the first kit looks like the right one, based on the shape of the gaskett, even though none of the numbers listed look familiar. I just ordered it so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for your help.
