CArb number decoding Help
Can anyone tell me what the following means:
"L1 FF"
This is found under the casting number 7042217 on my 72BB.
Thanks!

Hey ..
The carb was built during the month of November 1971 (L1), this is correct for a car produced through late march 1972, maybe very early April 1972. The April run would more than likely be M1 (December 71).

I am sure now that it is. Definitely a February car.
With Bill Nov. 71 Carter didn't use the I letter. My bad
