I can do without the varnish, thank you very much!
As far as the carb, if it's a holley, it should SAY so, somewhere on it.
Autolites have a very flat top (hence the nick-name flattops) except for the venturi area, on the older cars like that, if the cobwebs are letting the right memories through. Look for a small clock-like casting mark on the side of the casing, with the #'s 1.12 or 1.08 in them. 1.12 is a 600 cfm, and the 1.08 is 448 or 484 cfm or some-such (not sure, but it's under 500)
I don't know if Ford had it's own carb or if they just labeled something else.
As far as rebuilding it goes, thats a question of nostalgia vs. new. I've heard the 4100 is a great carb for a 390 or smaller engine, unless you're going for all out performance. You can also get a rebuild kit from any NAPA store. Check backwards a couple days for prior posts in the forum about this carb for some more info.
Others might have some better ideas, as well.
