Carb rebuild kits

Well, now the frame swap idea is out until I find another frame or figure something out, so I'm doing some other work on the 65 for now. My galaxie has the autolite 4100 carb. The little tab with the model # says C5AF-E, so I'm wondering if there is a certain rebuild kit thats better than the others or is this one ok? http://www.carburetor-parts.com/Autolite-4100-Premium-Carburetor-Kit--Except-1957_p_2522.html. thanks

Re: Carb rebuild kits

Few kits have the floats included, and most kits neither have the secondary diaphragm and plastic lever included. IMO its a great rebuild kit. Im also rebuilding a 4100 now with code C3SF-B. This is the kit I bought:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Autolite-4100-Carburetor-Kit-for-289-Hipo-Mustang-Fairlane-Mercury-Cyclone-/271236833609

Its a bit cheaper, but doesnt include the floats. But the diapragm and lever is included

If you can reuse the old floats, maybe its an idea to choose the cheaper kit. Your chioce
