No, that's a 34 EIES, mine is a 34 TEIE
I'll take some pix before installing it. I have to do some trick adapter because holes share sort of the same size... closer enough to make the fabrication of an adapter complicated but diffrent enough to not being able to butcher carb's body and get away with no modification
other great advantages that I forgot to mention:
you don't need throttle return spring. It has 3 springs stiff enough and reliable enough to forget about springs. And the 2 barrels opens towards the center so fuel distribution is greatly improved.
You can get electric chokes or coolant activated chokes, and there's a fancy device that cuts off the idle feed when you cut the ignition. I didn't get all those fancy add ons, I like my carbs simple and I don't like electric devices anywhere near the carb
when float closes the needle, you have an extra connection that sends back the excess of fuel
ain't have no metering block/s. the carbs' body contains all the pasages, fuel bowl cover is ontop the carb so you ain't get leaks,
emulsion tubes, bleeds, fuel jets comes in fancy metric steps. ie main fuel jet #145 would be 1.45 mm ( say #58) and decreases and increases in .05 mm steps. great fuel curve tailorage capability. air jets and idle assy are stamped the same as jets
fuel jets are almost on the bottom of the bowl, so cornering, hard acceleration oand braking issues are minimized
fuel bowl is rather small so the fuel pump doesn't sees long free flow/restricted flow & overpressure cycles
both barrels have separated idle adjustment
idle and transition circuits are independent as well.
throttle lever is very slant friendly. practically a 1920 or BBS bolt on replacement... if you have lokar or other cable kickdown  but adapting a "normal" KD would be minor fab
accel pump nozzle (only on primary barrel) and all the accel pump mechanism is extremely sensitive, and works very well under various throttle position /pressures
Does have its drawbacks: no PCV provision, parts are very warpage prone (much like BBS, wich can be easily adressed by not allowing Godzilla to tinker with your carb... hehe) and mostly the adapter thing
It has many of the weber style advantages but w/o the price or the weber hassle (I hate them) I mean, great tuneability and almost infinite tailorage chances, and once you set it up no need to be fiddling around twice a day like Holleys.
