Carter YFA identification
Need some guidance...
I've searched the WWW and could not find an answer...
I have a 1974 F250 4.9l with a carter carburetor. My truck is spewing out thick black smoke (worse than my diesel!). Plugs are correct motorcraft gapped at .044". I have it timed at 10 BTDC. The previous owner took the carb apart and attempted to clean it, however, did not rebuild it and/or may have not put it back together correctly. I am trying to identify which carb I have, however, the numbers are right on the casting seam (?) and appear to be 60640, or 06640, or something similar (a search came back with nothing) It does have 6-2228 stamped on the opposite side. I believe it has a manual choke and does not have a dash pod. With so many model numbers, I have a few questions:
1. Which carter carb is the right one for my truck (or range of model numbers)?
2. Which carter carb, if any, works best for my stock truck?
I want to ensure that I order the correct rebuild kit for the one I have, or look at the option of picking up the correct carb (or better) for my truck.
Thanks for all the knowledge shared!!!

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the last number you listed should be the list number. A real parts store (like Napa) will be able to cross-reference that in the books. Carters have them stamped in the cast, vs. a separate tag like Motorcrafts.

Carter manufactured carburetors for Motorcraft. Motorcraft put a tag on the carburetors, but quite often, this has been removed. The Carter identification number is stamped into the body.
There is a business called Mike's Carburetor Parts which has an excellent reputation and offers technical assistance. Also, their parts are manufactured in the good old USA!!

I found these other two websites that were helpful.
THE CARBURETOR SHOP / TRUCK CARBURETOR REPAIR KITS F Applications
O.E.M Carburetor Catalog Ford, Mercury Trucks
I currently have the Carter YF 6646S (Motorcraft tag D4TE-ACA), which also has 6-2228 on the casing.
It appears that I should have either the 6532S or the 7005S (since my truck is 3spd, no A/C). Not sure at this point what the difference is between the three carbs mentioned.
The 7002S and the 7006S may work as well.
