The Rochester Model AA "turtleback" 2bbl carb, used on the 1949-50 Olds 303s. That engine above has two of them on an aftermarket manifold, with inlet adapters to allow the air filter to be on the side instead of in back. Here's one in it's natural habitat.

For those who want more info on the oddball Rochester AA carb, here's a link to a manual that describes how they work.

I recognize that Vortech supercharged engine. I parked next to that car at one of the annual All Olds Car Shows.

I love that shot of the 303 with the twin Rochester two barrels on the Edmunds manifold .
Talk about rare unobtainium !
