rock creek 0 Report post Posted February 10 How does an owner know if the carb on his engine is the original? Is the numbers on the carb recorded someplace? Not that it matters, but need to kit my carb, and can swap for one already done. Just want to keep stuff as original as possible. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Conway 279 Report post Posted February 10 Keep everything that came with your car. The info you seek is stamped on the forward portion of the carb horn. The BOSS 302 Forum would be your safest bet for reliable information. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmlay 92 Report post Posted February 10 Once can not decern if the carb is the orig unless they have meticulous maintenance records from new. Best case one can verify if the numbers on the choke airhorn and the metering plates coincide with the correct model carb with an appropriate date code.: https://www.boss302.com/carburetor.php Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rock creek 0 Report post Posted February 10 I can't seem to post a pic, but the 3 numbers for build date are 975. That puzzles me if I'm reading things right. It would mean 1969, July, but 5th week? Carc was built October 69. At any rate, it appears this carb is original. Will kit it. Thanks! Great forum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
