Hi there, I would recomend getting a book I bought. It's called Rochester Carbs by Doug Roe.
They are not to bad to rebuild. I am getting ready to rebuild my first CC carb this weekend but they are almost the same as the older ones so I am not too worried about it.
That book is awesome, you can find them on E-bay for like 6 bucks or your local library has them also. Well worth it. It should say right on the left side of the carb a series of numbers.
I paid around 30 dollars for the rebuild kit for mine. It does not come with a float so that will be an additional 10 or so if you need it. Also if you are taking the carb off the car and doing a complete overhaul then you will need the base gasket also and your looking at another 10 or so for that. Hope this helps.
