Unanswered: Weber Carb Markings

What carb do I have? Lol I know a picture would be better, but all I have to go off of is a tag on the side that says:

Weber
72HF KB
B OE26

My wife is still afraid of the car, something about a rattlesnake and rats. So this is about the most info I'm gonna get till I get home.

So .... your new ride that is waiting for you already has Car Pets!

Sorry - cannot identify the carb for you - other than to say it is a Weber.

Well, I'm pretty sure that one of them ate the other.

Indeed these are Ford factory part numbers. That is probably a DGAV. 711F is for a DGV. A lot of Weber carburetors that were sold aftermarket, were extras that Ford did not get, sent back, overstock.
