This is a re-post from the First Gen forum, most folks are saying this is an earlier rotary Nikki carb. Any information and or advice is appreciated.


Doesn't look like any nikki I've ever seen. Doesn't look like a holley, can't find any stampings or serials? It looks like the PO modified a holly intake manifold to fit it.

Anyone seen this carb? If so, tuning advice?

Note: One morning I noticed her running like pure poop, after inspecting the carb I found the large black plug pictured in the gallery had been shot off. and was jammed between the engine and manifold. Anyone know what this particularly large vacuum is originally intended for? And, why it would shoot out? (This was also when I believe I busted an apex seal so I figure that could've caused the pressure?)

It is the large black one to the right.

Also, I have no vacuum lines running to the dizzy, is this okay? It had been running as such since I've bought it.

Another question I had:

This little guy seems to be hanging out without a home? (Again since I've owned it.) what is it/where should it go?


And finally,

Is this aftermarket?
