Thank you everyone for the help. I'd definitely like to try the YF but it looks like some of the ports are different. I'm glad I joined this forum, relieved that everyone is so helpful! I've got the original service manual and even advertisement material from the dealership in MINT condition. I think I'm going to buy that rebuild kit and give it a go, it also looks like the "NOS Carter RBS" is a good start on eBay, looks identical to mine. If anyone has any more ideas please do share! And thanks again, seriously.

The ports on the carburetor is not a big deal. The big deal is the throttle linkage. I think AMC started using the YF around 1971 or 72. Id have to look in the TSMs

Thank you very much everyone. I wound up getting a BRAND NEW O-1756 for $150 off of eBay! Now, all I need is a new gas tank that I still can't seem to find unfortunately, anyone have any leads on what sites to look at? I tried all of the AMC sites as well as eBay..

I think $150 for the correct NOS carburetor for your car is awesome.

You will likely have to find a gas tank that is close and possibly modify it. Many use the early Mustang tank as a "universal", but it's only like 16 gallons. It was designed to be the trunk floor, but many mount it with straps under the floor like the stock tank. The big problem is the filler isn't in the right place for the Rebel. Tanks Inc (http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm) has bolt-on filler necks, but a welding shop won't have a problem welding a neck on a new, unused tank. When you go and ask " I have a brand new, never had gas in it tank" should be the first words out of your mouth though! Take the old one with you as well and tell them you need a neck in the same place.. or where it will fit in the car since the new tank might be a bit different shape. Tanks Inc has many tanks, so you might send them a couple photos and measurements and get a close match. Your car uses the same type fuel gauge as early 60s Fords, so a n early Mustang sending unit will work fine.
