What Carburetor is it?

Trying to figure out what model Holley carb is on my '62.

I believe its stock, but of course can't be 100% positive.

How can i determine which model holley carb it is? Theres no tag on it, the only numbers I can find are on the base flange:

12R 1958

Its a 1962 F100 with a 223 Straight Six by the way.

Rip.
If its a 2bbl. its most likely a 2300 series.
Look at the top of the venturi opening. There will be a 4 digit "list" number like 2436, which is the center carburetor on my tri-power.
It shows to be a 330 cfm unit and the end carbs are 2437's, both 350 cfm units.
When you get the list number, look on the Holley web site to see which one you have.

It's just a single barrel carburetor.

Looked down inside it and can't see any numbers of any sort. Theres also no tag on it. In fact the only number I can find anywhere aside from on the side of the flange, is something on the side of the body that is 3 digits and is something like 3GM or something to that effect.

Where do i go on holley's website to look up numbers? i've been looking all over their website and can't find anything.

i have one in the barn, pretty sure its a holley 1v and a couple still on 223s, those i believe are both autolite, at least the one that came on the 64 is because i rebuilt it when i first got the truck.its buried under a bunch of snow on the 61 f500 now.
something wrong with yours or just trying to figure out which one it is?

Prolly a 1904. Do a google for holley 1904 and see if the pic is right.

I'm fairly sure its a 1904 as well. Looked around for pictures as herman suggested too, and they look identical.

I wanted to find the model out so I could get a rebuild kit for it. Its leaking a little fuel and running extremely rich. It floods very easily, has a hard time starting when warm, and I can smell fuel constantly. I've also never rebuilt a carburetor, and am excited at the oppurtunity to play around with mine. The more I tear into this old baby of mine, the more I learn

There is nothing to these carbs. because I am no mechanic and I didn't have any problems. I have a 2043 on my truck, which when I tried to get a rebuild kit for it the parts people looked at me dazed and confused, after a couple of weeks I called holley direct and got it cheaper and in a couple of days. They told me mine was a factory replacement for the 1904 and the kit was for a 1904, They are similar but differant carbs, If there is such a thing.
