IECO intake.  I had one.   Nicely made piece.

It mounts a Rochester 4-Jet, same pattern as the Will Carter carb, 
also early AFBs only the AFB is shorter and the butterflies sit 
closer to the base and get in the way of the intake mount pad.   The 
WCFB is like the Rochester, tall carb and the butterflies aren't so 
close to the pad.  You might have some trouble finding a 4-Jet or 
WCFB in good shape though... ;)

You might wanna haunt Ebay for a decent 4-Jet.   They tune about the 
same way an AFB is tuned.   You can play with metering rods and 
springs and tweak it until you're satisfied...  may take a while 
unless you get lucky.   Most of the issues seem to revolve around not 
enough carb heat to make a 4-Jet work like it's used to working 
although in summer running once it's warmed up it seemed to do OK.
