Stock carb? Help

I was wondering if anyone knows about this kinda carb? It came off a 79 12a n/a
I have seen the Nikki carbs but this one looks different/modified? Works great and much cleaner w/out all those vac lines. I would like to get another one, so any info on it would be great. P.S. sorry about the pictures but I don't know how to get a bigger picture...so I had to edit/crop them alot

That looks like a '74-'75 Nikki.

One of your OMP lines is missing.

Sure. How much are you willing to pay?

I have another potential buyer for the carb. He sent me a PM.

Just so you guys know, I have one '71-'73 carb that is incomplete but I could probably put it back together. I have one '74-'75 carb that needs a choke clamp and bolt, but otherwise looks complete. Also one '76-'78 carb, complete as far as I can see.

The '76-'78 carb appears to be the most modern of them all with the OMP nipples in the '79+ position.

I don't know what I should ask for them.

I took some pics of the incomplete '71-'73 carb. (they aren't uploading so I'll try tomorrow)

I had forgotton that when I got it, it lacked all the screws holding the top to the main body as well as the throttle cable bracket and throttle return spring bracket. It also lacked most of the parts on the throttle shaft too. I think someone raped this carb to put the parts on a Holley before the RB modded Holleys became popular.

I did my best with what I had on hand. I used parts from a '79-'80 carb. Most of it looks like it will work, but the choke may be a problem.

I'm going to get this carb back together and test run it. The nice thing about OMP oil into the float bowls is it preserves everything. Even the accel pump sounds healthy. The check ball still moves! This would make a great carb for someone wanting that classic look.
