I assume you meant to type: "single carb in the centre." But if your car is FI 
then that's not a carb, that's the intake air distributor for the FI.  

U0500971 is a 71 FI engine, what year and body style is your car? You should 
also give us your VIN, which is stamped several places, maybe even on your 
dash.   

Dave Hall has the info on the small plate on his web site.
