Joe, if that's the original carb the owner should hang onto it in case he ever decides to restore the car in the future. Just sayin'.....

Good choice. I have seen the Edelbrock Q-Jets show up on ebay new every so often. I've also seen some NOS Rochester carbs show up.

Look at newagemetal.com, and get a manual, try this page: http://www.carbkitsource.com/manuals...als/CM355.html

Use that to find carburetor numbers, then look for a good unmolested core to either build yourself or have built.

Alan,
Looked @ link you posted,could'nt tell does it list what specs are on carbs for jets,metering rods etc.?

Joe,
From what info you gave us I'd say canning that carb is good ideal.
