Where to buy new carburator?

[Basher]

Where can I buy a new Motorcraft 2150, are they still availible? What other can I put in anyway?

You can still buy the Motorcraft 2150, but it will probably be a remanufactured piece. You can also put a Holley 2300 (2bbl) onto the stock manifold, with only minor problems (mostly hose routing, and emissions hook up). You'll get better performance from the Holley, especially if you get the 500 cfm version.

I´m not out to get better performance, I´m rebuilding my whole jeep and going to keep it OEM. How is it remanufacured? Can I do it myself, is it just a kit I buy to do it?

Depending on where you buy, some rebuilders will use slightly caustic cleaners to clean the housings. It almost looks like they were bead blasted. I had trouble with a motorcraft 4bbl like this. Always leaked at the air horn and never did idle smoothly. Your best bet is to search the wrecking yard for an original condition carb and rebuild it yourself. I eventually ended up going this route.

I bought a Holley remanufactured 2150 from a local auto/speed shop( www.parksautoparts.com (http://www.parksautoparts.com) ).It was part#64-5554 for $225+$25 core and Iv'e had great results so far(it's been on about 6 months).Using the standard Holley 2bbl is a good idea unless like you said you want originality.
