Engine What did this Carb belong to?

[PSully76]

I have recently acquired the sought after MC2100 carb with 1.08 Venturi’s to replace the Chinese Carter BBD on my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I6. I am confused to what this carb belonged to beforehand and would like to see what y’all think. I thought most of these carbs came with electric chokes but this one seems to be missing the “body” part of the choke and the mounting point for the throttle cable seems different compared to what i’ve seen in photos of other peoples swaps. Any information or opinion is much appreciated!

A Rebuild. I want to completely disassemble it, get a decent rebuild kit and figure out what all parts i need to convert it to an electric choke. It seems like the choke flap/rod is bent as well. I was wondering if i could get a cheap chinese carb and use the hard parts (I.E. choke flap/rod, accel pump rod) and use them as replacements for this carb.

It was hard to find a Mc2100 with 1.08 venturi’s so i’d like to do all i can to make this work.

If you use a manual choke it might be a means of foiling those who steal jeeps. My 2150 has a manual choke and takes very little time to have enough manifold heat to shove it back in.
