    That looks like a setup for a LPG conversion.

    LPG ? Liquid Propane Gas ?
    Who and why would anyone want to convert to Propane ???
    How does that look like a LPG convertion to you ?
    It clearly has gasoline nipples

    That's a Carter RBS, was used on all the Maverick/Comet 250 because of it's short height. The 250 is too tall in these cars to use the YF that was on most 200 and 250 in Mustang, Granada etc.
