Carter stopped making carbs in 1985 due to ACF taking an EPA hit at its plant. It sold its rights to Weber and Edelbrock corp, with Holley taking over US production.
This 2 barrel progressive carb has names bandied about for it. Most are wrong.
This WAS originally Ford of Europe Escort MarK III Weber 32DFT single 2-BBL carb
It was built under license by Carter and then Holley.
Names used , weather by right,
sic, are:-
Weber 32DFT
Weber 32DFTA
Holley Weber,
Carter Weber,
Motorcraft 5740,
Motorcraft 740
It is not, nor ever has been a Holley Weber, but Holley stepped in the gap for Carter, and its owned and carries an OEM #9XXX reference for it, and it has become one (a Holley Weber) in generic Ford and Motorcraft description.

Fords E3EE-A1A,E4GE AAA reference numbers exist. This is important because theCalibration Reference of the carb is defined by Ford, its
jets,
well tubes,
air correctors,
idle stop solenoid,
Choke Pulldown parts,
A/C or Power Steering Throttle kicker
Its not a Holley carb as such, but since Holley took over supply in 1982 when the writing was on the wall for Carter ACF, it is what it is.
For Non OEM carb aftermarket support, the only Holley Weber is the first on this list below, the Holley G180/Holley 5200 Series, itself a licensed copy and Weber DFT/DGAS variant.
Eliminate all these Holley Part Number choices
Any why, here's the info to back it all up:-
eliminate these too
Here is a Missing in Action Holley Weber 52xx to 65xx List and Makers PN from 1973 until Ford axed the carb in 1983 for the single barrel.
There is an on line list of the 19 (nineteen) Holley Weber carbs in the 445 carb list below,

These are appended with the Dave Emanual even more extensive list of 8 (eight) other Holley Webers in Super Tuning and Modifying Holley Carburetors.
There are seven extras just from and afternoon of FEP internet trawling.
Every Holley Weber on the net seams to have a different list number and part number, which is probably as it should be, since the published Holley lists are for carb kits where as real Holley Weber's in service are factory list carbs with a automakers unique production part number
