Birdhaven Vintage Auto Supply @ 515-674-3949 can supply the kit you need to rebuild. All you need tell them is automatic or standard shift. Tracker

At one time, perhaps still, you could have the side inlet Merc carb rebuilt by Holley for about $300. There are two versions, one for automatic, the other for stick shift. Those carbs have gotten very hard to find, so a factory rebuild may be the way to go.
