1. Don't listen to what the seller said about the filters. If anything the K&N will be less restrictive then those foam sock style filters. Just ask for a K&N filter and housing to suit IDA Weber.
2. When you take it apart to clean it, then would be a good time to find out exactly what jets, air bleeds, emulsion tubes etc. are in there. This carb will not work correctly on a stock 12A auto if it was taken off a 13B bridge-port for instance. You should also find out what size the chokes are by measuring the inside diameter. The float level must be set correctly as well.
3. It looks like you're missing the carb fuel inlet as well. You'll need to get one of those.
4. You're also gonna have to fabricate a throttle cable bracket for it.
And like Rotortuner said, this is a very easy carb to work. You just have to be game and use a bit of initiative and common sense. Plus it's the only way you'll ever develop your mechanical skills.
ps. You might wanna get a manual, I might have one if you're interested.

The inlet is where the fuel line goes. I can see the banjo bolt is there but it's missing the fitting.
For the bracket you'll need to use your imagination.

You can get an AN fitting for the inlet and that works pretty good. otherwise the banjo will work ok. Yes the carbs are fully tuneable as rehed said, you can have the carb on a 13b bp or a 12a pp and in about 3 min you can have it rejetted for stock 12a, about another 7 minutes to take the top carb cover off and slip in a smaller set of chokes and its good to go. These carbs are really cool, i had absolutely no experience working on or rebuilding carb in my life, and i bougth one toook it appart and learned about them, and its really easy and simple. Have fun withit and just take your time.
