The correct original carbs for a 55 are:
ECJ-9510-L List 1077-1 (3 speed)
ECJ-9510-M List 1078-1 (Auto)
Replacement carbs:
ECJ-9501-L List 997-1 (3 speed
ECJ-9510-G List 1077 (3 speed)
ECJ-9510-D List 998-1 (Auto)
ECJ-9510-H List 1078 (Auto)
From the Tbird Restoration and Specifications manual

If this is from the T Bird restoration manual, they have it reversed. The lower set of part numbers are the original factory installed numbers, and the upper set of numbers would be very late production or service carbs. Also there is a typo on ECJ -9501-L 997-1. It Should be ECJ-9510-C 997-1.
You can also use the '55 passenger car carbs on the T-Bird. A lot more common and same calibration. Only difference would be the part number for a numbers matching show car and the air cleaner mounting stud. 1955 carb list numbers would be LIST 1074, 1074-1 or 1074-2.
If you need help I have been doing T-Pots since 1968 and know them well. I also have some 1074 cores that could be restored.
