please help id my carburetor

I'm a bit confused regarding which rebuild kit (renew) I would get for my carburetor. It's on a 1975 F-250 camper special with 390 engine. All I've been able to find by searching is that this might be a 600 cfm carb.

carb has Holley logo on fuel bowl with:
D4TE 9510 ASA
LIST-6830

however, there is also a Motorcraft tag attached:
D4TE ASA 4116

Any help identifying the model and appropriate rebuild kit for this carb would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

For your purposes, the carb's ID can be determined by the Ford/Motorcraft numbers, which are: D4TE-ASA

So how do I translate these numbers into a part number for a rebuild kit?
I know that the D4TE relates to the engine type in the vehicle, and that 9510 refers to Ford, but that's all I can gather.

D4= 74, T= truck, E= engine part. Most auto parts places list a bunch of different carb numbers for each rebuild kit, just find a kit that covers your carb. I couldn't find that particular list number on Holley's page, but it should be 650cfm.

600CFM . Go to the holley.com website and go to the tech support. E-mail them the list number and ask them for the info on the carb. Ask them and they will give you the correct kit number as well.

I got it identified as a 4160 with 600 cfm, which agrees with the various information I'm getting.

I'm working on fixing a whistle or whine noise coming from carb area after vehicle has warmed up a bit. Already replaced both base gaskets (which fixed a stalling problem).

My real issue is trying to eek out a couple more MPG on fuel economy. I'm thinking that the whistle is a vacuum leak inside the carb from a faulty part, and that she may be running rich because of it.

Are there any other modifications I could reasonably do to the carburetor to improve fuel economy (perhaps at the expense of a little power even)? I read about turning it into a 4150 ...
