Carb Identification

[Dothang67]

Hi everyone

I have been reading this forum for awhile now, but I just registered because I just have started really working in my car. So here is my first doubt:

My car is running good, but I decided to rebuild the carb, which is a 2 barrel Motorcraft. After buying the rebuild kit in Autozone and disassembling it, I saw that some parts arent exactly the same (i.e. needle and seat assy), does this is normal? or should I returned the unopened kit?
I was thinking if I could maybe know the model of my carb (which I think is a 2100) I could find a kit that is exactly for this application, the problem is that I dont know how to identify my carb model. Any suggestion?

Almost forgot, my car is a 67 coupe with a 289 and 4-spd manual tranny.

Thanks

If it is running good why mess with it? You must match the serial number/ ID number of your carb. to the carb kit. Some parts have changed over the years so they do not always look exactly the same but should function the same.

I know, thats what my father said; I think I just like getting into situations .

Thanks for the info and the link. I will check the numbers.
