Default Correct Carb?

So - Could some experts out there tell me what would be the correct carb (the kind that came from the factory) for my 1964 327 250 Hp Automatic NO A/C ?

Thanx

I will be going to a swap meet and want to have the correct #'s ready in case I actually find one

The 3696S number will be stamped on a triangular brass tag under a bowl cover screw, with punched-out characters indicating the date and line it was built on; however, 99% of the time that tag is missing. A correct 3696S will have main body #0-1465, air horn #6-1672, and throttle body #1-1579; those numbers are cast-in, not stamped.
