Couple more:





So I take its not for an RX7 then?
Only reason I signed up was because Nikki carbs seem to get mentioned alot alongside RX7's.

I would say try asking sterling. He is usually in the 1st gen forums. He does a LOT of work with nikki's for the 7, so maybe he has seen a 2bbl nikki before. Or atleast he may be able to provide further means to find out what it came off of. Shame it's cracked. Looks like it would flow really well.

Theres no garunatee that it goes to a Mazda,but it could be for a piston version of the RX series cars, or an old Mizer (predecessor to the GLC/323 series).
My old 78 GLC had a similar looking 2 barrel carb,except for the glass float cover,which makes that unit look to be older than 78.
