What carb do I have?

It's a pretty standard 38mm Kehien butterfly. They used about the same ones from '76 - '89. They had a similar looking one that was Screamin Eagle branded. It was an oddball for some parts though.
Most anything you'd need for a simple rebuild is still available from a dealer or aftermarket. Search '84-'89 Harley, 1340.
* I'm assuming that's the original carb. I've no idea by the numbers. A picture of the whole thing would let us know for sure.

Yes, CV40, first "edition." They only used that none-pump version on the early 1988 Sportster.
The body is not drilled for the accelerator pump nozzle and the bowl has no pump and isn't drill and ported (internally) for a pump. The floats are round where the later ones are flat. Other than that, all the parts interchange with the '88 to '91-1/2 carbs on both Sportster and Big Twins. Actually all parts for the '91-1/2 up fit also with exception of the bowl gasket.
Someone probably converted your FLH long ago when CVs were hard to come by. After a while they were everywhere for cheap but now they've gone the other way. Still plenty around but not so easy to find one in decent shape at a low price. 1340's had a butterfly from '84 thru '89 from the factory,
