Al, i believe we know what that carburetor is.  is this your carb?
http://www.carburetion.com/images/carbid/holley10.jpg

it took some doing, as i've never seen one of that model carb before, but i
think we've finally identified it.  if the picture in that URL matches what
you have, then that's a Holley 4360.  no wonder it's not listed in any of my
manuals.  it's a marine-application carburetor, and never having owned (or
any intention of owning) a watercraft, i have no manuals for them.  there
are parts for it listed on the Holley website in their Marine section, but
the carb itself is no longer manufactured.  i couldn't even find the OEM
specifications for it.

any non-HP/non-Avenger/non-Dominator Holley carburetor in the same bore type
(spread or square) should be a bolt-on replacement for it if you're looking
to ditch it.  certain models from the HP and Avenger line will probably also
fit (don't even think about trying a Dominator, you don't want to know how i
know not to use one with an IH engine), but there's really no need to get
one of those models for one of our old trucks.  there are probably direct
bolt-on replacement carburetors from Carter and Edelbrock, too, which are
both usually a little less expensive than Holley.  they're also easier to
initially tune and keep tuned.

i didn't see any full rebuild kits for the 4360 on Holley's website, or the
one or two other parts places i looked at.  there may be rebuild kits
available for it if you want to keep it and use it.  Holley does still make
a number of the larger parts and kits, things like the fuel float,
accelerator pump, that sort of thing.  if you want to keep it and use it,
i'm sure we can come up with a viable means of rebuilding it.

what exactly did you pull this carburetor off of?
