The manifolds may be ok . They could keep the carb to save on shipping cost.

That's like a teens era carburetor. Well, maybe early 20s.

Not a Model A carb - although it probably can be made to work.

My definition of Model A carburetor begins and ends with the GAV adaptation. If it has the angled GAV valve and can be mated up to the GAV rod - then it's a Model A carburetor.

I'm not sure if I include choke only in that definition. A lot of the aftermarket fork lift carburetors have this - and even a specialized bracket that will fit the offset slot of the GAV adjust rod.

But I'm not sure if I want to cencede that yet.
