OEM Carburetor part number

I am trying to order a carb from National Carburetors, but they have 2 carbs listed for my 1983 Tercel (3A-C) There is no difference in the descriptions of the 2 carbs. Here are the part numbers

Toy155 (OEM 15280)
Toy155A (OEM 15281)

How can I find the OEM # for my carb?

Re: Tough clutch pedal/ knocking- pulling the engine

Day 1- I got it sitting up on blocks and ready to pull the engine tomorrow. Everything is disconnected (some things already were!) A few questions:

Does anyone know what the broken piece in this photo is and where to get a new one?

Re: Tough clutch pedal and knocking

I just drove my first Tercel home! I was a little suprised with how well it ran on the 20min+ drive back home over some steep hills. I also had a minor revelation on the way back, there might not be any knocking at all. I realized that the "knocking" I was hearing is probably (hopefully!) just an ...

Tough clutch pedal/ knocking- pulling the engine

I don't actually own a tercel yet, but I might in a couple of days.

I'm looking at an 83 4wd SR5 wagon with +300,xxx miles one it. According to the owner (some rich kid with a brand new BMW convertible who has had it for 2 years but didn't drive it much) the clutch was replaced a little over 2 ...
