Found this whilst cleaning up. It was on an MGB engine that I picked up for a spare. Reasonable offers not refused. Shoot me a PM or email me: vping at optonline dot net

I'm assuming Webber but will need to look at it. If it is a Webber is there a way to tell which webber?
Vince
I was thinking Weber as well, turn it over and measure (in mm) the diameter of the venturis, (26/34, 28/30, 28/36 etc.). It looks pretty old, doubtful if its a 32/36 or 38/38, but who knows. There should be a name brand on it somewhere, alongside the fuel bowl perhaps?
That looks like a Holly/Weber 5200, the "bugspray" carb that was used to convert VWs and came stock on Pintos and vegas in the late '70s

I looked all over this thing and cannot find a name on it. I did not measure the vents as it's attached to the manifold but on the side there is a 26 on one chamber and a 27 on the other if that helps.
Vince,
As Bill mentioned, perhaps it's VW related. Take it down to a VW shop and see if they know what it is. If not, if you live close to the Hudson, deep 6 it.
It was on a running B engine but could have been VW related. Going once......
I still have this available and I have another in cleanercondition.
