Carb options for 59 to 65 Tri-power. Found one of these on a 59 Wagon a while
back. The Standard Engine/Carb would be a large base standard 2 barrel, but
would use the same intake. This would be the same up to 1962, and most folks refer
to this as the Taxi Cab option. Rare Carbs, and difficult to find.

Later on when I get a chance I'll try to ID the carb, for now I'm leaving it all intact for easy storage.
Since this is an 'A' code 280 HP engine I doubt it has the 'E' carb but during 56 years anything could have been swapped in order to keep it on the road.
