The ones on the left are newer style…possibly for a 230 or 250 engine. This type used an air cleaner with a central screw. The ones on the right are the old style model B…for 216 or 235 most likely.

That choke/throttle cable bracket on the carb on the right is worth more then the carb itself. Don't let it get away.

It’s worth more than all 4 of them together.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

It may be somewhat of an exaggeration but they are scarce & worth some $$ here in the States.
