The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Is this the right carb for my '55 T-Bird?

I'm going to have to say no, that is not a '55 carb. The '55 carb does not have the mount for the auto choke on it like you state. Also part of the lever that operates the choke butterflies is missing (where your choke linkage would connect).

I'm certainly not an expert of "teapots" tho, so I hope someone else will chime in.

Also is that the proper "valve" on the side?
