By the looks of it, the original one for your applcation (5.0L) will cost
about $185 without exchange.

Question: Which carb were you thinking was right for me? It looks like the
one listed for a 5.0L is a 2BBL (MC60). Is it not possible to get a 4BBL
for this engine? It looks like most of the 4BBL carbs listed are remote
choke, not electric choke; am I right in assuming that "remote choke" means
some sort of mechanical connection, rather than electrical? I also notice
that there's no choke switch/lever on my control console, is that because
the electric choke is managed automatically somehow?

Sorry for the flood of questions... :-)

Yes, remote choke means mechanical. Electric choke manages itself.

My expectation is that if the previous owner went from 2bbl to 4bll he
may have also changed out the intake manifold (in order to accommodate
the 4bbl).

You'd look for a comparable 4bbl to the one on the engine now.
