ID'ing a Carb

[Mendotaman]

Hello
I'm sorry for the earlier attempt. THanks for the responses, but I've had no luck so far. The carb weighs just a hair under four pounds. Is that typical?
Here are the pictures.

What do you need to know? It's an A carb for sure. I know there are 2 types of cast ones. Early and late. the difference is inside that I know of. Take it apart and if it has more than one jet in the bowl I think that a late. If it has only one jet in there it would be the early.. But I might have that backwards. I found info online under performance tunning the model A carb.

It looks like it may be a double venturi has 2 jets in the bowl in a straight line. In bad shape.

What Brent said.

Now you need to find a good throttle shaft for it.

That style Carb. was used from Oct.1928 thrugh Dec.1928..

Something doesn't look just right. I see the H on the upper and lower housings and is probably an early Holley. I also don't see the raised pin bosses that is a sign of the double venturi carbs. It has the brass levers. the early carbs didn't have a lower leg on the choke lever but could have been changed. The 55B jumps out as strange. Could it be an Argentine version? I know that Warshawsky and J.C. Whitney sold a cast iron Zenith look alike carburetor in the early sixties.

The pin bosses on the Holley, whether drilled or not were on the engine side of Carb..
