It's a photo taken for Life magazine by Nina Leen. The description is "Teenage boys and girl, happily riding in "hopped-up" convertible car with exposed engine (newly built car from Ford Model A and T parts) along palm tree-lined street." https://www.life.com/arts-entertainment/photographer-spotlight-nina-leen/ A few more of her automotive photos: Group of teenagers pushing an old car. Teenaged boys, who are junior members of the Molesters Club (as indicated by large "M"s sewn on the seats of their pants) leaning into the engine area of Richard Burns' 1927 Ford Model T jalopy named "Tooty". Teenaged boys, who are junior members of the Molesters Club (as indicated by large "M"s sewn on the seats of their pants) rather than using a jack, simply lift the car so that the one pulling on tire can change it. Teenage Boys Desmoines, Iowa

There was an Australian brass copy of the Tillotson S4 sold as a Koala or Alpha brand carburettor. My Zebra had one fitted when I bought it. They seem pretty common over here so it might be worth checking ebay.
