Motor craft 2100/2150 parts

I am looking for a parts source for the idle mixture screws on a motor craft 2100/2150. Not sure which I have. P/o screwed them in tight and damaged tips so I’m trying to find replacements. I heard holleys are comparable but I don’t know which to order. Thanks for the help

Is the tag still on it? Failing that I would write Mike at Mikes carburetors, somebody like that, they will get you fixed right up.

2150 has a much larger accelerator pump than the 2100. Some 1970/74 2100's have a choke pull-off diaphragm mounted in the air horn.

not mushroomed and the carb seat looks fine, tip of one was broken when I did the rebuild and I reused bc it’s all I had. No tag on the carb. If no one sells them guess I’ll order a reman and swap them out send it back. Hard to believe no one still makes these

Now that's a dick move, don't do that. Nobody said no one sells them, Mike used to have a few different styles at his website (and I'm sure other vendors sell them as well.) That's why I suggested writing him.
