Definitely RX-2 era; looks exactly like the pair we have sitting around.

... well, except for the emissions ****. Can't speculate on that, as that crap got stripped off of our RX-2 carbs *long* before I had anything to do with them.

Seen Sterling mention before that the RX-2 carb and mani is a lot better in a whole bunch of ways; look at the size of the primary holes on the air horn for one, and for another, compare the runners of the manifold to a later '7 one. If you have one handy. If not, take my word for it that the RX-2 manifold is a lot better internally.
