Any '79-85 carburetor will work fine, but they differ in a number of ways that will impact emissions, if that kind of thing matters where you live. It would be easier to just rebuild the '79 carb, IMHO. Any carburetor that's off another vehicle may need a rebuild as well, and if you're going to the trouble of getting the sucker off the car, you may as well just do the rebuild anyhow.

Just my .02.

thanks for the answer,Both carbs do need a rebuild i was just wondering if there was any advantage to using newer one,seems to have a lot less garbage attached to it.
