460 carb identification

Working on an old 85 250 with the 460, the float is bad and the thing needs to be rebuilt in general. I'm not sure what one I have. Any ideas?

Using the number on the tag getting the right carburetor rebuild kit will be easy. A lot of stuff is different on the OEM vs the aftermarket Holley carburetors, gaskets etc are mostly different. it should run great once it is rebuilt.

Holley 4180 4bbl, factory equipment on those years 460's. Use the Holley list # stamped in the air horn and if possible, get a genuine Holley carb kit. Some of the "other brand" kits have substandard components.
