Correct Carburetor For A '70 429 ThunderJet

Does anyone know what the correct carburetor is for a 1970 Torino Cobra 429 ThunderJet engine?

Are you asking for the correct SIZE/CFM or the the exact model to make it original as it came from the factory for restoration?

I believe they used a spreadbore Autolite, I can't recall the model number though.

I am in the early stages of only getting the engine running. The carburetor that is currently on it is not the correct one I know for sure.
I am not concerned with the absolute correct factory carburetor. At the same time I want the automatic choke and the automatic transmission kickdown hookup to work right.

I was told that the original carburetor was an Autoite 605 cfm.

That sounds right, A Motorcraft 4300 series. The SCJ cars used a Q-Jet on them I think.
