7037216

Yesterday I went to the Swap Meet in Lincoln, NE. and picked up two complete carburetors and one parts carburetor.  The 7037216  is listed as a 1967 396/427 model carburetor with a air pump (Cal. carburetor).  The interesting thing is: rather than these numbers being stamped on a small, round, metal tag attached outside of the carburetor by the accelerator pump.  The numbers are stamped at the back of the carburetor, same side, in a vertical position, like on the 1969 and up.  It also has a date stamp: 1232.  I believe this to be 1971, the 232nd day.  Is this carburetor a GM replacement carburetor and is that why these numbers are positioned where they are?  Am I reading this correctly?  Billy 2

If it's stamped it will be a Service Replacement carburetor.  All the originals from that period were round tag, at least from what I've seen.....Cliff

Thanks for the replies.  I thought this might have been a service replacement carb, just did not know for sure.  The date stamped on the carb body reads 1232.  How would you read this for a date?  I thought it would read 1971-232nd day. Thanks billy 2

 Yes, that is a Service Replacement with a date code of the 123rd day of 1972.
