I need help understanding the engine

[Corvair_man]

I don't like the sound of someone putting a non-Corvair carburetor on one side. Is it possible it's a 60 carburetor and the other side is a later year? The '60 carburetor looks a little weird compared to '61 and later because there's no choke and the top is round for the hose to the air cleaner to go on.
I never thought I'd want a '60 but now I have 2 of them and driving one daily.

So it looks like you have a '60 carburetor and a '61 carburetor. I'd get a shop vac to work in there before doing much of anything else. Dennis
