I get wary any time I see a line that goes from left to right in the area near where the adjuster bolt boss is. That can be an indication that metal and numbers were removed. Some are more...

That looks like a number 6425 Holley 650 cfm two barrel with the choke horn cut off, or it could also be a severely modified 4412 500 cfm carb. I used to run two 6425's on an STR-10 Edelbrock in an...

The 1958 Delray interests me as as much or more than the plastic cars, but beggars can't be choosers.

I never took a picture, but my first Pontiac was a 41 four door. Looked like this. The seats were as comfortable as a living room couch... and nearly as spacious.

The 3418 was a vacuum secondary carb, then in 69 they changed to a 4296, which was a double pumper. Just for the record, I have never run across a plain 3418, only 3418-1's. Strange.
