Hi Im looking at a 79 dippy with 318. its been converted to electronic ignition/vacuum dizzy, but not sure about carb.

Ive never seen this carb before, is it a lean burn carb? One of the numbers stamped on it is R-8448, does that stand for Replacement?

Im replacing the intake and carb in the end, but I'd like to know more about it.

This was a lean burn car, so this is a lean burn carb?

Looks correct for a 79 318. I would have to look up the numbers to be sure.

with the blue wire going into the innards I would say yes it is a LB.
