What carburetor do I have?

Hi, guys. I'm looking to rebuild my carburetor, but I don't know what carb I have!

It's a factory Ford 300 I6 engine in a '69 F100 with a single barrel carburetor. All I know is that it's a remanufactured FoMoCo carb of some sort. I always thought my truck was supposed to have a Carter YF in it, but this doesn't match up with images of a YF.

Here's an album of pictures.

Many thanks to those who know more than I do!

That's an Autolite 1100...... I jokingly call it "The Mighty, Mighty One-Barrel" in my 68 Mustang.

it also has a spark control valve and requires the matching Load-o-matic distributor.

Awesome, thank you! Definitely good reading material too.

Question. I have an Autolite 2127 distributor, not the Load-O-Matic. Is that an issue? Within the year I plan to change the carb to a Holley 350 2bbl and the intake manifold to a Clifford or Offenhauser dual plane, but for now will my setup cause me any issues that you know of? The truck's a daily driver if that helps.

I notice that at about 1/4 throttle the engine wants to die out.

Sorry, I'm young and I didn't grow up in the era of carburetion. Still lots of learning for me to do.

Edit: Now that I'm reading more into your link and links that it's lead me to, I think my mismatched setup is my issue.
