And no it's not me, I will give you a clue, it was made in the late '70's.

Is 4320 the list number ? Google has nothing for that ?
My new 850 is very similar. No choke, very smooth radius leading into the venturis and a 780 size throttle bore.
 
Nope, It's a Fuel Curve Engineering Holley carburetor. These first showed up in the late 70's as from what I have read the real 1st. highly modified Holley Carburetor. The thing that makes these so cool it this 4150 is like a little Dominator as the 1st one I had years ago when I pulled it apart the metering block circuits were kind of strange with small tube epoxied in them drill through the top of the block. I also noticed this carb had an intermediate circuit that on Dominators is crap but on these 4150 FCE carbs works fantastic. It has no power valves and is super sensitive to jet changes. I will have to see if I can find some articles on them. I sold my 1st one for some good bucks but always regretted selling it. This time when I saw a guy on craigslist had this one and a 3310-2 mint carb for $125 for both of them. As soon as I looked at the 850 I knew who made that one, the kid said they were his Dad's old carbs and he was an Edelbrock guy who hated Holley's. I have run this in the past with very good results and it runs as strong as the big buck stuff made these days.

Thanks, I always keep my eyes open for deals on this stuff. The last two years with covid I think have a lot of guys not racing anymore and dumping their parts. You have to be in the right place at the right time.
