I can't help with type of carb, as I haven't seen a single chimney for a long time, but I had a thought which I should have had originally. Sounds like the metering rod is or was jammed. That would mean it's bent and is jamming the main jet, not allowing any fuel through it. Maybe the metering rod can be straightened enough to work. Most likely it will have to be replaced. Once they are bent they are done. The main jet might also be damaged, which would mean it would run rich once the metering rod is taken care of.
I think carb possibilities were holley, bbd, or carter.
