55 Vette

I have a 55 corvette, number 533. Does anyone have an idea as to when this was built?

Engine Block casting date H25

Intake Casting Date G155

Carburetor Carter WCFB 2218S

Carburetor Build Date G5

I have concerns with the carburetor being the first generation with this build date.

August and would have the second design Carb

build date august 20. after 400 it is usual to see the later carburetor without the bellcrank and a non-operating vacuum advance. is 533 a automatic? if you post the engine pad number and distributor number and date code we can determine if this motor is original to the car. also when looking at the distributor see if there is a number on the top flat of the vacuum advance.

It is a Powerglide. I know the distributor is not original. I will look for the engine pad number. Getting this to as original as possible is becoming a carrer.
