What do I have here?
«

I recently picked up a
dualjet
at a swapmeet and as I was disassembling it, I noticed some unusual features.
In the baseplate between the throttle plates was a small cam lobe on the throttle shaft. This actuated a pin under the power piston making it work mechanically as the throttle was applied. The carb also had bushed main bleeds and a pullover enrichment system. Finally the primary metering rods were stamped 55P. I've had a couple of dualjets apart before but none were setup like this. What have I got here? Oddball application? Factory racing dualjet? etc.?
Thanks for any answers

I've seen a few Q-jets set-up in a similiar manner. They are somewhat rare, pretty sure they were used on late 1970's Cadillac engines, but there could have been other applications that used that set-up.....Cliff
