Carb ID

I need a carb rebuild kit, and my local autoparts store won't sell me one without the carb id number. Of course, my rebuilt carb doesn't have a tag on it. So, what was the stock carb for a 1985 F-250, 351 W 4 speed? it's a two barrell carb. Looking forward to the reply, because 6 miles per gallon just isn't cutting it!

Autolite 2100. If you need the carb's part number, your local Ford dealer's parts dept can get that for you. But even with a kit, the mileage may not be much better. Bolt on a new Holley 350 or 500.
