I would think it's worth rebuilding to keep it original, assuming it's original, since it looks different than my '61 carb. Although, you'll probably sacrifice some fuel economy with it.
Alternatives:
• This site would probably have some good advice ... http://www.fordsix.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 50&start=0
• Or you could go the tried and true Clifford Performance route ... http://www.cliffordperformance.net/Merc ... _Code=F223

Just some thoughts. Hope it helps.

Looks like you have the tried and trued Autolite 1100. I got one for my rebuild kit for mine on my Falcon at my local Napa parts store. That carb was used on a lot of the sixes up to the 70's. Hope this helps.

Pony carbs has a good reputation. Not cheap though.
