Look for the list no. it is on the flat of the fuel inlet boss.
Your 55 should have these nos if standard trans.: 800 or 1241
Automatics had No 826.
this info is from a 1962 Holley document i found on line.

Currently, my Holley 1904 is converted with a valve body that has SCV. The engine was very sluggish upon accelleration after climbing to normal operating temperature. I had been given to believe that I had the wrong carb (by several sources) and that I needed the one that included the SCV.
I have been doing some other work to the Courier so I have not started this thing up and tested it yet. Now I am wondering from all I have read here, it may be okay to leave the carb with the SCV, but what about the manifold vacuum. (currently, there is only ported vacuum)?

The LOM uses only ported vac from the carb. plug the manifold vac unless you need it for the wipers.
Check the condition of the advance diaphragm. If it leaks it will never run right. The correct carb for '55 does not have the SCV, just a port on the side of the carb.
