Carb info?

I have a 66 F100 that had been sitting for over 30 years. It wasn't hard to get it turning, little transmission fluid in the cylinders for a couple days. Cleaned the plugs, new points & fuel pump & it wants to run. I think the carb needs rebuilding. I'm not running from the gas tank because it's pretty rusty. My question is; is the information on the carb tag what I'll need to get a kit? Don't know if it's original or not. It says Motorcraft D2PF RA.. The tag on the engine says 352, I've known about the truck since it was new so I'm pretty sure the engine is original.
Thanks Van

Yes absolutely. If the truck has been sitting that long without running a rebuild certainly wouldn't hurt.

That is the number you need for a rebuild kit. The original carb would be Autolite rather than Motorcraft - the motorcraft name wasn’t used until ~1972 if I remember correctly, so that carb was swapped onto the truck.

Google is your friend: took all of 30 seconds to search that carb tag number and find info.

OK, thanks. Now I know it's not the original, but that's not a problem. Napa has the kit ordered.
