Secondary-Rear - C2SE 9510-B / List 2498 metering block - 3563

Pictures of the 'frankenstein' carb setup with the C1AE-AV center carb and choke, along with the C2SE-B rear carb you have with a choke on it would be appreciated to try and figure out what happened. I suspect the original center carb was swapped out a long time ago, but no idea why the rear would have been outfitted with a choke, especially since the hot air tube for the choke was originally set up for the center carb's choke and the rear carb might get in the way of the accelerator rod from the firewall to the bellcrank in front of the front carb. The accelerator rod on a T-bird manifold is bent to clear the center choke housing.

BTW C1AE 9510-AA is listed in the MPCs as a Ford-design 2-barrel carb for a Y-block 292.
