If it is not a teapot what is it?

Thank you

Hmmm, does your carb use three bolts to attach to the intake? If so, it is NOT a 'teapot'! The only 2 bbl. teapots were '49-'53 Mercury and maybe Lincoln and mounted with four bolts. If original, yours is a Holley Model AA-1 or 2100. If I remember right, '55 292's only came with a 'teapot' 4 bbl. Model 4000. But who knows what got changed over the years.
