I found this carburetor in a autojumble. Any idea what zenith model is it? . In which car it was used?

Appears to be set up for a stationary engine

I wonder if it came off a Gleaner combine?

I have one of these on my 30 Willys flat 6. Need another if you don't want it. Jack

Could have been for many engines back then.Zenith was making carbs for anybody that wanted them.i bought a couple 5 gallon buckets of Zenith carbs at a flea market,there are a bunch of them in there.I also bought a bucket of B carbs,some of those are the same way.No GAV,throttle and choke on the opposite side,etc.
