I do plan on getting the right one maybe in a year or so when I get the time to restore it but for now it would be worth the couple bucks I'd spend on a carb that is not OE just to get it moving under it's own power. The salvage yard I get my parts from is run by an old man who in my opinion is getting a little senile. He thinks anything that fits in the palm of your hand is only worth a couple bucks so I could walk out with a crate full of carbs for probably $60 and be able to piece something together for the time being.
I made a template for the carb gasket and brought it to the yard with me and it appears to be a very common design. I found all types of carbs that look like they may fit including the one Carter I mentioned. I know it's not an N-series but the thing looks identical in every way to the N. From the numbers I gave earlier, does this sound like a carb that would work?
