carburetion questions

Wondering what the cheapest route is for a carb, or carb and intake is, for a 1980 ish motor in a 66. I'm broke but trying to drive it daily, as my normal daily went down.

rock auto has rebuilt carb for an '80 f100 w/300 cid for $140.

might be cheaper ways if you could find a good used one or rebuild your own. also some auto parts stores will price match.

Will an 80 carb be pre-feed back or lighter on emissions.

The cheapest way is to buy a $30 rebuild kit.
