You probably have whats called a "T pot" Holly 4 brl carb on it. From what I understand that these carbs are hard to come by. Dont know about rebuild kits, but I think you can get an adapter plate to fit and install a newer style 4 brl on it.

Just My guess

If all it needs is a rebuild, then it is worth it Check out the prices of new carbs. If you buy one off of e-bay, it could end up needing rebuilt too. Prices around here run 100-150, unless you know my retired mechanic friend.
