I have an intake manifold that I believe may have come off a mid 60's 327 in
a C60.  It has the oil fill tube in the manifold.

There is a number cast into the manifold:  "3872783".  Below is cast  "GM
1".  There is also a "B146" cast in near the distributor area.  Near the
firing order is an "H".

I am not very familiar with carburetors, but it is for a four barrel of some
sort.  There are four openings, all round with front 2 about 1 and 9/16",
back 2 about 1 and 3/4".

The bolt pattern for carb is 5 and 1/8" left-to-right, 6 and 1/8" front to
back.

Questions:

A. What did this come on?
B. What type carburetor fits this bolt pattern?
C. Would this be a good manifold to use on a mild 283 (with towing cam)
engine with a small four barrel or Throttle Body injection?

Any help would be appreciated.
