Nice looking carb but what a strange place to put it. Three adaptors! They must not have been able to wait for that BIG 4-barrel for the test run! LOL

I'd say its a test stand. You could mount any carb on it easily for testing. It looks like a quick coupler for the fuel supply.

George, I think you're right. Top adapter for 1-barrell, middle for 2-barrel and bottom for another type of 4-barrel than the intake manifold.

Carter actually made a gold-plated carburetor once. When GM decided to stop installing Carter carbs on Chevy sixes and use their own carbs instead, the CEO of Carter vowed to sell a million replacement carburetors for the Rochester B. It took a few years to do it, but when that 1-millionth Carter replacement carb came off the assembly line, they gold-plated it and presented it to the CEO of General Motors!
