Help identify this Carter carburettor ‘37 Buick???

[rodneybeauchamp]

Hi all,

i bought a bundle of Buick parts at a swapmeet and told they were for a ‘37 Buick. This Carter carburettor was in the mix but has a different mount pattern to my ‘38 which has the Marvel two barrel with a three stud mounting. 

 

Can someone confirm it is from a ‘37 Buick or from something else. Unfortunately the brass ID tag is missing.

 

thanks

It is not for a '37 Buick. '37's do not have that choke mechanism

It isn't '38, they had either Stromberg or Marvels, and '39 used Carter WDO 419-S (which the pictured carb is not) or Stromberg AAV-26.  So, either earlier than '38 or '40 or later.  Maybe Carbking can chime in.

Manual choke on one side and auto on the other? No linkage to the accelerator pump? Something ain't right....  @Carbking? any comments?

4 bolt is for a 320ci Century Roadmaster Limited(single carb).  3 bolt is for 248 ci Special

But may not be for a 30's or 40's Buick. Cannot see the vacuum starting electrical switch

Any engravings on the cast iron base?

 

AAV 26 or similar?

Cannot be positive from pictures, but GUESSING that before it became a FRANKENCARB, that it might have been used on a Hudson.
