Gerald, they were used on many '54-'57 Ford products, yes on the dual four setups on '57 312s.  International trucks also used them.  Thousands of them were produced.

Gerald;  I posted picture of my E code under members rides.  Titled Photos by thomasso.  They are I believe 4000 series by Holley. These type carbs first arrived on 49 Mercs and Lincons as 2bbls I think the 4bbls came on Lincolns and Interceptors in 54.  last used on E and F code cars in 57.    They were often called blazing infernos as the lnlet valve plug often leaked and if run without air cleaner and the distributor right behind, well you can imagine.  Tom.
