Take the old one a rebuild it. The new ones are way out of line and hard to order. Rebuilding is the way go.:

Adam, start by looking in Aspens/Volares, especially wagons, then move on to the larger cars, including vans and pickups.

You will need, at minimum;
Intake & carb (may as well take intake/exhaust assy.)
The air cleaner/filter assy.
The trans kickdown linkage (if yours is auto trans, manual trans doesn't use)
Make sure you get the throttle cable brackets, too, and you might even want to snag the cable.

Hint; hoard the intake/exhaust mounting nuts & washers. (the triangular and brass ones) They're getting a little hard to come by.

thanks for the info... for the Aspens/Volares, im looking for the late 70's right is that the same with the rest of the cars and pickups. Are some of them early 80's.

Adam, yeah....sorry....I neglected to give you a year/vintage window. Mid/late 70's to mid 80's. the slant "died" in somethng like '86, and was last put in pickups and vans. Oh, and take off the air cleaner and look down through the carb throat to verify for the two-barrel. Some of those carbs look like a one-barrel from the outside.

I suggest you get a carb with the original aluminum tag on it if you can. The rebuilders usually remove the tag, so if you get one with the tag, it probably has not been rebuilt (and screwed up) yet. Rebuilders for the parts shops tend to mix and match parts and that causes problems. If you take an original to a good rebuilder yourself then you will probably end up with a better carb. I found 2 with the original tags in Florida and had a professional rebuilder go through one of them. It came out like new.
