Need Help With Carb ID !!
I am having trouble IDing this Rochester Carb.. Anyone with expertise in running #'s on carbs I would greatly appreciate your help..The #'s are: 7029207 (which the corvette black book says is a 69' 350/350 mt) the 4 digit date code is 2637.. What does this translate too? Ihave a guy who wants to buy this carb but we need to verify what it go's on..

Cary -
The carb is a 1969 350 325-horse Vette with manual trans. The date code is a Julian date code, so 2637 translates to the 263rd day of a year that ends in a "7." Since this makes no sense, the date code is probably a mis-stamp. I have seen the photos of your carb, and it is a '69 carb - no question about it.

Is the 4 digit date code stamped right next to the carb# ? I have a 1968 carb (not a corvette#) that has the number and broadcast code stamped on the side vertically (pass side I think), but the 4 digit date code is stamped on the base. Bases can be easily switched.
