Rochester 2 Barr replacement

My car is a 1965 F-85 with a 1973, 350 that has a Rochester 2 barrel carburetor on it. Unfortunately this past weekend I had a fuel leak that resulted in the carburetor being destroyed along with damage to the hood. Looking for suggestions and sources for the right replacement 2 barrel carburetor. Thank you in advance for any help and information.

I've got three or four 2bbl carbs from 70-73 vintage cars. I'm sure several other members here will have them too. I'd want $25 plus shipping from Oregon for a good rebuilder, it may need a gasket kit since it has sat for several years. I'd encourage you to create a parts wanted thread to see if someone closer to you has one for a similar price.

Now is the perfect time to put a 4 barrel carb and intake on.

Actually prefer to purchase a new 2 barrel carburetor, just not sure what would be the correct replacement one or where to get it

You can get a rebuilt or possibly a new(?) one at your local parts store.

Was the 2bbl that you had from the '65 engine or the '73 engine? I'm not very familiar with 2bbl setups, but on the 4bbl engines a '65 era carb would have a divorced choke and the anything about '69-up would have an integrated choke (round housing with a black cover on the passengers side).
