Looks a lot like the carb on a 56 T-bird we work on at the shop. try a google search on it and see if it matches. It's been a while since I've seen the car (TG) so can't say for sure, but I do remember the float bowl being on top like that.

When those were sold they WERE called "bug spray" I think, but as you can see it is quite different than the usual. The floating float bowl is supposed to be good for g-force resistance and helped to prevent dirt in the jets(good for off-road)
This guy still has the box Shocked

Smile Back in the late 60's or very early 70's had a dune buggy I built with a 40hp and the Bug Spray Holly 300 on it. Did not look like the pictures shown.

Car ran stronger after changing to the 83BB kit.

Having the Kit body and being light the power was sufficient for those days.

Some of you seem to be missing a critical part of the names, Bug vs: Buggy, different name for a completely different carb. Wink

I had mine on a '69 bug with a header and 009, and bought them all at the JC Penny's auto center. It ran great.
