Wow, you need to learn to spell or just type slower. I don't think anyone will be able to help you unless you give us some more info. Take some pics or something. Is is a 2bbl or 4bbl. Does it say holley, dellorto, weber, munikki? These are some of the common aftermarket carbs. If it is the stock carb it is a nikki. If you are sure that it is a stock carb, you can just go down to an auto parts store like napa or something and order it for 20-40 bucks.
But yea, post some pics and you will be helped much better.

The air cleaner thingy should be blue and say mazda on it. Pull that off and on the front and rear of the carb (sides facing the radiator and the passengers side inside) there will be little sight glasses. Most likely you will not be able to see the fuel inside, but somewhere in that vicinity you will see NIKKI written on it. I don't remember what else it says, but you will have a hell of a time looking for it because the carb looks like it is on life support.
Also, if you are planning a rebuild, it is not hard but very complex and confusing. Take your time and if at all possible try to take pics with a digital camera, or video camera if you have one. Some people suggest drawing pics as you go through it but taking pics is way better. Good luck and don't loose any pieces.

Ya, listen to Carl, he's the man 
If you are running the stock carburetor, then it's a Nikki. They don't have numbers that I've seen, despite what the guys at the parts store say. The rebuild kit you get for it is the kit for "1979-1985 Nikki 4bbl for Mazda Rx7" or something like that.
If you have a CarQuest parts store anywhere near you, go there. They can order the "Hygrade" rebuild kit for that carb and it's the best one to get. I just did a carb rebuild with one yesterday in fact.
www.carquest.com and enter your postal code into the "find a location" thingy to find a nearby location.
If you search up "Hygrade" (searching 1st gen section only) you should come across a thread that has the specific part number of the kit you need.
Good luck
Jon

How much are you paying? Carl (Rx7carl) rebuilds them but changes a bunch of **** like the jets and whatnot, and gives you a nice little boost of power. I don't remember how much it cost but pm him.
Also here is his homepage http://www.pbandjracing.com

Not picking on you, but you didn't answer my question 
Rebuilding the carb isn't really that complicated, and would make a great learning experience for you.
