Cecil, after some checking, not sure about experimental, but yes, rare, not for a Corvette. It’s for 58/59 passenger car.

Can you elaborate?

 

[Blk61409]

Yep, I reached out to a friend that has considerable early FI knowledge. The tag number 7014900 is designated for the passenger car engines for 58 and 59 Chevys. It appears there are parts missing according to my friend that makes it a wall hanger and would be very difficult to make operational.
Example, the top for the plenum is missing.

I may have more info in a few days.

Oops, not plenum top missing, but the other big “box”

Lòoks like a combined air meter-fuel meter and a different principle of operation.
