Unanswered: What Holley Carb is this? Could use a rebuild and I cant find much info on it. Ideas?

Hey, I attached a couple pictures. I dont have the part numbers off the side with me at the moment, but will get them posted up soon. Previous owner is nowhere to be found and all i know is that its a 2bbl holley carb. There is a Chrysler/doge star refurbished sticker is on it, but mostly torn off. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks to anyone who can help

Holley "Weber"

That is a Weber copy made under license by Holley. Extensively used on Ford 4-cylinders (Pintos - I think) and may be Capri V6 as well.
Looks like Chrysler used it too. There should be USA carb kits and parts available for it locally - try your Ford Dealer or local carb shop. Called a Holley 5200 model.

Not a lot that I can add to your ID. IIRC there were 3 different CFM versions over the years of the 5200. Chrysler used these in the early '80's on there K cars, ie. Omni, Horizon, Charger. The later the application of these 5200 carb's the more electronic junk they accumulated, solenoids and so forth. Almost forgot to add that the primary and secondary barrels are reversed which will mean fabricating throttle linkage. You can rob the jets though as they are interchangeable with the Weber jets. Holley used a different numbering system though IIRC.

Mopar Peformance once offered an NOS (nitrous oxide) plate for these cars worth about 50 hp.

Holley 5200 is a licensed version of the Weber 32DFE/M carb and is of the same family as the 32/36DG/FxV, with which all of us are more familiar. It is a progressive carb and both throttle bores/venturis are the same size, unlike our 32/36 carbs. As Harold said previously, the primary location (where the linkage goes) is the same as on the DFxV type, opposite of our typically used DGxV carb. DG carbs are designed to be mounted on the passenger side of a 4-cylinder engine, DF carbs on the driver side.
