Armand, Steve, et al.....
If I am not mistaken, it could very well be a Carter or Rochester too; even
with a FoMoCo number.
IMHO, OTT; HIDK!

Hay Steve I've got the exact same setup and I can't figure out for the life
of me how the secondaries open or if they even work. There's no external
linkage or diaphram of any sort on the carb. Mine has the numbers
(Autolite C7ZF B A7DC) on it but looks like a Holley to me. What Gives?
