Interesting, no stamped number, only 2 casting numbers where one is very similar to the Rochester stamped numbers. I suppose it doesn't matter since the car runs very well. It is just a curiousity. If I ever plan to sell it is just nice to be able to offer as much detail as i can.

that is a casting number on the throttle plate. it is meaningless. the carb number location is as shown in post 34. left side above and behind the rear throttle plate pivot. 70 or 170 means built by rochester. but carter q-jets used the same 70 or 170 numbers. the date for carters is a letter-number 2 digit stamp instead of 4 numbers like rochester. only tells month and year.
