This carburetor needs rebuilding and I’m not sure what kit to get. It’s on a GMC 213 Stovebolt.

Hooligans - It's a GMC engine for sure from the valve cover pictured, but no such thing as a "213". Look for the serial number stamped on the machined pad next to the distributor. The first 3 digit indicates the engine size (228, 248, 270, 302). A block casting number would help us ID what year(s) the engine itself is if you can find it and post. wink

As to your carb, perhaps one of our GMC gurus can ID what it is??? headscratch

I agree with Dan that the engine is GMC, but the carb is not one used on a GMC engine from the factory. There is an adaptor under the carb to mate the front to back mounting on the manifold to the side to side mounting on the carb.

I think it's a Autolite (Motorcraft / Ford) 1100.

Autolite 1100

I'd look for a replacement. Apparently Ford stop using them and switched to Carter.

Yes, that is, indeed an Autolite 1100. It would have been used on 170, 200 cid Ford inline sixes.

If it's stamped Autolite or Ford, don't throw it away. You could probably sell it on ebay or something. Original ones are somewhat hard to come by. The "new" replacement ones from China and/or Argentina are crap.
