Title: 7029204 FF carburetor
Post by: Danzo on August 17, 2018, 10:33:35 PM

How common/rare is it to have an undated carb? Have the above listed number off an 03D 396/325hp Camaro.
Thanks, Doc

From the CRG carburator report...


The date code was stamped either on the base of the carburetor toward the rear on the driver's side of the car, or on the vertical boss next to the identification number. The date will be in a four-digit format (where the first three numbers are the Julian day and the last number being the year).

Did you check both locations??

Could be a service replacement.

After 50 years, it's probably been rebuilt several times and the base plate has been replaced. I've seen this a lot over the years. Not much you can do about it now.
