You need the 1955 version of the Rochester 4GC. The 56 will bolt up but it was changed quite a bit from the 1955 version.
You need one with #70072730 on the brass tag. This should be easily found, so don't pay a lot for it. Then buy a rebuild kit from Daytona Carburetor in Florida. It is a simple carb to rebuild. Making sure it is clean inside and out will be more difficult. Ask some friends if they have a good bucket of carb cleaner. Good luck and stop back and let us know how you make out. Pull the plugs out and squirt some oil in each cylinder and turn the engine over by hand using the fan and a decent belt to pull it over completely at least twice.

Thank you all for the reply's, Ross, I did PM you.
I did join in 2008 when I had some ambitions of doing the restore, we then had two more kids so that put that on hold. I have figured out what causes the kids to come so I have told the Post Office to hold my mail to keep the mailman away from my house ![]()
