Here is some information I found on another square top carb used on Dodge trucks from the following literature:
1) Carter Carbureter specification sheet, Form 4723H, dated August 1948, revised February, 1958
2) Shop Manual for “B-1” Series Dodge Job-Rated Trucks, #D-12146, (10M-948)
The reference literature indicates that the Carter E7B1 carbureter was used only during the model years of 1948 and 1949, and only on truck models B-1-T, F-1-T, S-1-T, B-1-V, F-1-V, and S-1-V, equipped with the 331.35 cu. in. 6-cylinder engine. The starting serial numbers for these trucks was 81789001 (Detroit) and 85000401 (Los Angeles). The starting motor serial for these trucks was T158-1001. These were the big engines in the big trucks. This is the model of the carbureter pictured above.
David Ashton graciously provided an image of another oddball square top carbureter shown at the link below. Thanks David!
