1850 is a 600cfm vac sec single feed carb.  You can change the bowls and front metering block to make it a dual feed using a different "Y" lines to bowls.  Mounting pattern is the same between the 2 but the base plate where you get your vacuum for the brake booster will be in a different location.  It will work fine but you will need to re-jet the carb to take advantage of the small CFM but should be close out of the box.  Also has straight leg boosters on the 600 vs the dog leg style on the 780.  Nothing performance wise just different feature between the 2.  If you are buying a new carb I would look at just a restoration carb (reproduction) or a Street Avenger 670.

I have done both of these types of repairs and both work great.  In the event of the broken pieces are too small the plastic JB Weld is the better option.  Post back before and after photos along with the process you chose.  Good luck.

FYI acetone can be used to smooth out 3D prints to get rid of the ribs/ridges.

I think it's a repro.  Got a VIN?

As William would say.  It does not compare well with other 04C tags..

Being a LOS car, is there a chance that the car prior to this one was that color and it wasn't caught that the operator failed to clean out or swap paint tanks.?.  Not saying this was the case but just typing out loud if you will.

Its the same regardless of interior color as far as shine/hue of the dash top vs dash face.  The reflection off the windshield I would assume was a concern and why the suede/textured finish on the top.  I am not aware of a separate color callout for the dash top vs face.  Might have been process differences or maybe there was an actual different paint.  I do not know.  It will also diff between NOR and LOS as far as texture of dash top.

The Dixie Twister was not a 4P.  Ignore the M22 grease pencil as someone got carried away and wasn't knowledgeable.

Reason for my question is it MIGHT have been an L78 depending on a few key items.  Hence why I asked if it had a single fuel line on the frame or 2 (return line)
