Here’s a thread about them.

It’s also worth noting the throttle blades have a special coating to prevent corrosion. I took one apart and thought it looked neat.

I sincerely hope you are not considering a marine carb for your car. Even if the owner paid you to take it off his hands. Unless, of course, you are planning on fitting your car with pontoons.
