Help identifying this carb & manifold

Hey guys and girls, I picked up this carb and manifold a while ago and realized the carb is not a Nikki and the manifold does not fit my 12A for my RX-7. All my research points me to a Hitachi for an RX-4, but I'm not positive.

Can anyone help identify what model this setup is, maybe what year, and if my suspicions are correct that it's RX-4? Could it also be REPU?

Also, is it worth trying to run this carb on my RX-7? Or is it better to pass this on to an old school rotary enthusiast? What is a fair market price for this as it sits?

Thanks for your insight and help!

Oh, and to answer the obvious, I wrote "RX-4" on the block off plate thinking that's what it was.

Excellent, thanks guys! So, now I know it isn't for my 79 RX-7 setup I get to unload it. What is the parts market like in RX-4 world? The classified section looks starkly devoid of engine parts. Are the older rotary cars going with newer 1st gen RX-7 engines?

Any idea what it's worth?

I recently paid a guy 50 bucks for one of these. I wouldn't mind paying you 50 bucks for yours. I have two REPUs, you know.
