Your best bet would be to have that one rebuilt. Finding that carb will be very hard.

Lots will fit, but non are the same as that holley. If you're OK at tinkering, you'll probably be able to get a "universal" 4 barrel to work..

Kinda nice though to keep it all factory.

Absolutly a 4160 Holley just exchange automatic choke for the manual,
the good thing is those 534s are mechanically goverened.. Holleys with
vac governors are big big bucks. First I would go to the Holley web site
for a good start and stick a new Holley Kit in there. Sqaure bowl Holleys
the easiest carb on the planet to rebuild. sam
