Thanks for your post, John.

Yes, my carb is a one barrel. I don't think the carb attachment has been modified though?
In my searches to identify which car this one was made for, I believe it was manufactured by the Burgess Battery Company?
In another post, I saw that there is a tube running (on the silencer) from the oil bath part to the silencer part for Packards. That tube has been cut and spot welded to the silencer part. You should be able to see that in one of my photos.
But the bottom line is...I have never seen one like this on a Chevy and can only guess that my uncle had it fitted to the engine by the dealership when he bought it? It has been on the car since then.
So it is interesting and unique to my car?
