If your into numbers matching, these are the possibilities for your car.
200 4-Speed Rochester MV4 7042203
200 4-Speed/NB2 Rochester MV4 7042903
200 THM Rochester MV4 7042202
200 THM/NB2 Rochester MV4 7042902

Otherwise I would find any period correct used qaudrajet and send it to Lars for overhaul.

It's better to wait for quality than buy junk off the shelf...

Sean Murphy Induction rebuilt my Quadrajet. Carb worked fine right out of the box. Turn around was a lot faster than Cliffs. I think it only took a couple of weeks. I fattened the mixture up some, but that's because I can't leave well enough alone. I got it too rich. The carb is now set about the way it came from the rebuild...it runs really good.

For some info on the subject, you can drop me an e-mail request for the following papers:

"Commercially rebuilt Q-Jet Problems"
