Carburetor identification--Triplex 2150

Hello everyone,

im trying to identify the carburetor type below. It’s on a 1978 F-100 (Mexican version), 302 Engine. I looked up the 2100 and 2150 but this one appears to have an extra bore?

I dont think I have seen one of them think Holley did at 1 time?
I dont see any tags under the top screws so I think your best bet is to reach out to https://www.carburetor-parts.com/?sr...Var9ipAUNbrCyq

Tried a number of different web searches and came up empty. Decided to ask chatgpt and this is what it told me.

Thanks all for looking into this! I did NOT consider ChatGPT mterickson 🤣 but glad it cracked the case.

Well, I pulled the carb since it needed some cleaning and verified the “F” on the base plate. Altitude makes sense since it drove in Mexico City for decades. My grandfather bought it new in 1978 and cause of this this, I’m going to rebuild it to keep it original.

It’s been fun finding parts for it given the apparent use of bump side parts used in many of its configurations. But it’s grandpa’s truck so whatever it takes!

thanks again!
