'87 460 carb help

Been a while since I've posted here. I have a 1987 f250 460 with C6. The factory Holley carb needs some refreshing namely the vac secondary diaphragm. I emailed holler and they were no help at all. They sent me another website to try of a company that deals in older holleys. I emailed them pics of the numbers twice and never heard anything back, so here I am. Wonder if someone has some info they could pass along. Thanks.

Looks like a 4160 variant to me.

Your first picture has the numbers on the choke horn visible.

"List 50260-3".

That's what you need to get the kit, and that's what's in the link in post 2.

Ford used to sell the secondary diaphragm separately
Some of those carb kits are over a hundred bucks these days
Shop around on Ebay for a kit once you come up with a kit number
