Default show judges (carb dates)

How close do the carb and intake have to be in date to avoid point deduction?

Both must precede the vehicle assembly date (found on the trim tag) but by no more than 6 months.

Me thinks you people get too carried away with these numbers . Do you actually think a Judge will want you to tear down a engine just to see a number on the bottom of the intake or hidden any where else? I dont think so.

Well with an iron manifold the casting date is on one of the runners and can be judged.

Aluminum manifolds have their casting dates on the underside and so would not be judged.

My 71's intake casting date was judged.

4 weeks is better than 6 months.
If you can get within four weeks, you're ahead of the game.

Checked again last night and the carb is 1238, intake E23, and body K11. I'm good to go. The intake was never in question, but the carb was suspect. There had been talk of that carb being replaced and not rebuilt in the past. It was the only "numbers" part I had a question about as it had the date code furthest from the body build date.
