Default Carburator identification

Anybody knows which carburetor this is?
I can't find any numbers on it, exept '37 in a circle on the left side front corner.
It's a 4barrel, with a heatcontrolled choke.
The engine stalls when I hit the breaks, timing should be about right, but the last time I opened the carb I noticed the internal gasket was broken. I will look for a rebuild kit, but want to know what to look for.

It's a Ford 4300, one of the first smog carburetors and first used in 1967.
There should be some numbers on the side of the base plate directly below the circle with the '37 in it.

There are much better carbs out there.

Since I never messed with a smog 4-barrel Ford other than a BOSS-302 the only stock carbs I have worked with were 4100 series. Damn thing still reminds me of a Carter I saw years ago. Ugly thing too.

i never realised that there are other people out there finding different carbs more or less aesthetic than other carbs. Put myself down as a freak already
