You sure it's not a Carter in '55? I have Carter parts.

It’s a Rochester. No idea if it’s original though.

I may have a carburetor or air horn. Is there a # stamped on the passenger side of the float bowl? Thanks, Bob.

There’s a similar machined pad on passenger side, but it’s blank.

Another thing is, that I didn’t even mention, is one of the screw threads from airhorn to float bowl, has stripped threads in float bowl. It is also the one that holds the manual choke bracket to the airhorn. So choke is non functional till that’s fixed. The bracket just pivots.
So if I can find a complete matching carb to rebuild, would save me from heli-coiling this one. But I’d settle for just an airhorn.
