2 barrel Weber ID

Can anyone help me id what kind of carb I've got here (see attachments showing tag).
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess it's a Weber......

What kind of performance (if any) can I expect from this on an otherwise stock engine (except a 3-2-1 header)
This is not the progressive 2 barrel I have read about is it?
 
I don't see any pics but it depends on the weber. If the bores are 2 different sizes, its likely a 32/36. If they are the same i believe its a 38/38. The 32/36 is progressive, the 38 is not. The 32 is more of an economy carb. It adds a little bit of performance but its a PITA to tune properly. Getting one not already set up for our engines is annoying to tune. I can't tell you how many jets I've bought to try to get mine to run right and yet it still runs lean when i need rich, and runs rich when it should be lean. If tuned right, its an amazing carb but do you have the time and patience....

Is yours a small bore log or big bore log? If its a big bore, I'd look into using something else. I'm about to go to an Autolite 2100 but my head is modified for a 2bbl

Good luck,
Ryan
 
w e l c o m e !!! pat.
pic 'd be great
if not any tags? shape of the whole thing?
 
Haven't figured how to attach pics yet but the tag reads:

WEBER
86 DA TE
A 2316

It appears both barrels are the same size, but only 1 has a choke.

Thanks to all for answers.
I'm sure I have a progressive.
Also, one of the throttle plates only starts to open when the throttle was past half of its travel.
