The intake manifold or the Carb. The carb is a Stromberg and can be one of 3 models, the smallest the 81 (.810 venturi), the 97 (.970 venturi) or the 48 (I believe from memory 1.0625 venturi).
 
When I blew the image up in size, it appears to be an Ansen, --which was cast off the same moulds as the Burns.

Your eyes must be sharper than mine. I can't make out anything when I enlarge it. Thanks for the info guys! The engine in the pic makes we want to build a hot rod banger for my coupe.
 
Looks like the one pictured by racer 32 . It appears to have the fins on top. I looked in some of my secrets of speed journals and the ones I see are Burns. I had a Ansen single down draft manifold and the fins were on the right side. I also had a Zepher single down draft manifold that looked just like the Ansen. The only differance that I could see was the name on the right side.
 
It is a Burns, they were made with and without fins. I don't know about Ansen's single but the dual was wider than the Burns and would not fit under a '29 hood when closed.
