I had a really ugly core one laying around someplace.
I know I've got the manifold around I was using it for trailer tongue weight

Rick, the original carburetor is an Autolite C4DF. Many dealers had to replace those (and sometimes the manifolds too) with later models to correct accelerator pump issues. A carb intended for a 260 would have a bore diameter of 1 7/16" like the 289, but will have venturi diameter of 1.01. This number is cast into, and should be visible on drivers side of the fuel bowl.
A headed spacer is the hollow spacer plate between the carb and the manifold. Hot water from the engine is piped through the plate.
