Does anyone have any idea which carb Ford originally used in 51 V-8 automatic trans applications?

My 51 came with the wrong carb on it with no dashpot (big shocker,huh?),but I managed to find and buy a Holley 2100-DD EAB-D from a 52 Ford with the FOM and V-8. It still has the dash pot and bracket on it,but I know I am going to need to buy a new dashpot because even the choke plate is frozen into position. No chance of the diaphragm still working.

BTW,a new dash pot is easy to find,but the dash pot brackets are almost impossible to find.

Does anybody know what model carb was originally put on the V-8's in 51?
