What letter do I need for a 1968 !st week of Nov 4053 carb

I believe that would be an A.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0 is Jan. through Oct.
Nov. is A
Dec. is B

My 4053 is a 912. ('69, 1st month, second week)

You would need an 8A1.

I'm going off memory here. Double check me before you spend the big bucks!!

8A1 gets my vote too....
Z28Doug, you still have a good memory for an old guy.

I would disagree, and someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but his car is an early 68 so it was built in November, 1967. Wouldn't it be "7AX" instead of "8AX"? And further, since the 4053 carbs were built in batches, the chances of having a date code of early November ("A") on this carb would be improbable. I would say a carb dated in the "79X" to "70X" range would be correct. What's the assembly date of your engine? The carb date can't be after that.

It's a 69 that was built last week of Nov. Block was cast 11/12/68 Engine was assembled 11/19/68

Ah, in that case never mind! It was your initial posting that was confusing.

It reads like your car is a 68, built the 1st week of November.

So it's a 69???

:D

Maybe I should start looking at peoples "signatures"!!

Duh...

Ed

So what do you think Ed, 89X Or something like that.

Yes. I would say a month or even a bit more would be fine. For instance, my 68 is a 05D car and my carb (a 4053 also) is an 833 (3rd week of March, 1968). you can see there's a 2 month span in there.

Ed

Engine assembly date doesn't matter - the carb was installed at the car assembly plant; only has to pre-date the car's final assembly date. :)

Darn it John. And I knew that too!! Boy I must have been sleeping that day. Two mistakes in one post!!

:clonk:

Thanks buddy...
Ed

Still Confused In Jerry's book Jan and Feb appear to be 1 and 2 and oct is a o as in oreo and nov is a as in apple I found a 9 O 2 carb this seems a little early when everything else is 1st and 2nd week of Nov 68



I goofed it should be like everyone said 8A1 or maybe like 8 O 4

> 8A1 or maybe like 8 O 4

It can be a little earlier that, 89x would be fine.

Thanks KURT is there a span of time for all parts (water pump, heads, carb, intake) are they all abou a week to a month apart or does it vary depending on the part.

My car is 11d the block is K12 and V1I19

All depends on the part. Castings normally are close since they are made right there with the block.
Carbs can vary.
