Don't find any numbers on the carb, it's been leaking so thinking of replacing. Any recommendation for replacement or preferred upgrade? TIA This message was edited by 40ConvertibleTony on 3-7-23 @ 7:57 AM

Tony, from your pictures, you have a beautiful engine compartment with most likely a correct 91-99 carb, in great condition. You show 3 sides of the carb, but not the side (driver side) that has that identification. The leakage you mention, if it is the brownish stain around the base of the casting, appears to be from the two cleanout plugs in the front, that simply need new gaskets, certainly not a replacement carb. Upgrade carb? There is no better than original equipment. If you need a rebuild, kits are available, or you can send your carb out to be rebuilt, do not replace it with anything but original equipment, and "new" is not original, nor is it an upgrade in any sense of the word.
