Need carb with original foil tag. Should have 6-1586 or 6-1672 cast in the air horn, and 0-1451 or 0-1465 cast on the main body.
Fits 1962 250hp motor.
Thanks

I should have mentioned in the title--this is a WCFB carb (3191S).

Does the date code on the tag matter?

Will a WCFB with correct air horn, body, base plate numbers but no carb tag work for you?

I will be checking the pile of WCFBs at the farm this weekend.

It might. Condition and price would be major factors. Tag doesn't need to be early.

I went out to the farm today and gathered up all of the carbs I could find.

One carb I found was a 3190S - 1962 250hp WCFB. Carb has 6-1586 air horn and 0-1451 body. Carb is complete and moves free but will need a complete rebuild. The tag is dated J 1. The tag is also marked 3788245 above the 3190S marking.

Is J 1 September or October of 1961?

Would this work for you?

If not, it will be heading for Ebay.

PM me for details.

Ed, did you find a lot of wcfb 's??

Found two more WCFBs.

This 3190S listed above, and a 1957 single four barrel WCFB, top plate 6-1271, main body 0-1108. This would be a 2655S, but does not have a tag with it.

It would not surprise me to find more carbs hidden in corners, but this is all I have located so far.

I got the two WCFBs, a Rochester one barrel, and 4 Rochester QuadraJets.

Once I get them all sorted out and identified, they will al be for sale.

Also got an old Sun Super Tach, a 63 Corvette brake master cylinder, a 64 passenger car brake master cylinder.

The stuff hidden in cabinets, corners of the garage, and attic continue to amaze me.

Sorry guys, I should have made this clear.

These parts are not yet ready for sale. When they are ready, in a few weeks, they will most likely end up on Ebay. Sorry for the confusion.

Ed,
Thanks very much for looking. It's much too early, and I need it for a manual transmission. Thanks for following through on it for me.
