Carburetor

Hi Enthusiasts!! I'm writting from the border and I was wondering if somebody could help me with some information about a new carburetor I need for my 1977 F-150 I live in the mexican side of the border i dont cross very often to the us. but my truck broke down and i'm looking for a new carburetor so i wanna know were i can find one, i dont know if auto parts stores like, Auto Zone, Pep Boys, O'reilly or Napa sells this kind of parts, if you know if one of this stores does i'll appreciate if you let me know because i havent find it this side of the border, if somebody knows where can i buy an Edelbrock Carburetor that would be a plus!! By the way my truck has a V8, 400 6.6L engine, Thanks for reading this message and keep on trucking.

Try ebay. I bought a brand new 4160 Holley for my truck on ebay. Works great and got a good deal, even with the added costs of shipping and customs. Just search for a while be patient, and check feedback. There is always something on ebay. You could also try jegs or one of the many other online auto part stores if you know what carb you want.

do you need a 4bbl or a 2bb? a rebuild kit for the 2bbl is about 20.00 and very easy to do.

Stock, It will be a 2bbl.

You can look up parts on any of the parts store web sites you just mentioned.

EDIT:

Autozone in Laredo has your carb.

Dennis,
I have the same truck and need a carb. I don't feel qualified to rebuild so I'm looking for a new one. I checked Autozone's website and can only order online because the store doesn't carry them. There are 2 numbers for the Holley and the Champion isn't available. The numbers for the Holley are 64-6078 and 64-6079. What is the difference? There is a Holley on it now , 64-6078. The truck sat for a long time and is running very rich. Spark plugs and inside of the air cleaner lid is black. Thanks. Matt

Dennis,
Thanks for the quick reply. I checked the website out and there are 2 different carbs, climatic and electric choke. I have Advance Auto, Auto Zone, NAPA. I checked their websites and it lists carb kits and parts but no complete carbs. On a side note, Your signature line says you're north of the 49th.... Way to cold for me.. We're having the warmest Jan. I can remember and not complaining. Thanks again. Matt
