Both links look like good choices. Hope you get it adjusted in correct and our happy. Bench setting a carb is one thing, wet testing a carb is the only way to be sure.

Back in the day if I remember correctly Pony Carbs had an engine on a stand that they would wet test the carbs on. You may want to ask whether either of the links provides a wet test service. Well worth the money IMO.

I have a 2100 we took off my sons 67 289 with a automatic transmission last month to put on a 4100 4V.
Pony Carbs did the restore on it and it ran well.
I would sell it for $175 plus shipping.
Let me know if you want pictures.

Yes it is a OEM carb. It has a 1967 tag on it. It was running well on my son's car so it should not need to be rebuilt. I seem to have misplaced my camera. I'll get some pictures as soon as I locate it.

Tom, it would be helpful if you could determine the 1968 Ford part number of your desired carburetor. There would be three possibilities: 289-2V with automatic C8ZF-G sometimes stamped 8Z G, 289-2V with manual transmission C8AF-AK, 390-2V only with automatic C8WF-A. These are all shorthand numbers the basic carburetor number is 9510.
