[adam perth]

Is there any way to narrow it down a bit? Greg when I get over to NSW next I will have to come vist and read your books =)

you can, there are some numbers on them for date coding, i do have a book for that
"Rochester carbs by cliff ruggles"

cliff ruggles basically designed the carb back in 1965

Thanks Absinth.
Manual carbs and i have auto's ...BUGGER!!!
Ah well not changing them.

[Absinth]

Agro, the numbering for manual or auto carb isn't always accurate so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

[agr071]

To easy.
Thanks :D

Well that's a funny one.... I just checked the numbers on my carb and have exactly the same as one of yours Agro.... assembled on the same day.

My carb is 17057294 2367 July 77

i can scan in the rochester date / application system if you guys don't have it

also somewhere i have the ww stromberg numbers which i got off the net

if your at a swap meet or in a blokes shed and you don't want to piss him off by looking up numbers a quick reference is:

704xxxx small primarys big secondaries 1965-70
704xxxx 'normal primarys and secondaries 1971-1976
1705xxx 1976-1979
1708xxx 1979 up

basically if you find any of the early ones 1965-70, the matching number dudes will probably give you good money for them on ebay etc.

[adam perth]

this may clear it up,
its probably better to talk 1708xxx carb than "604"

i find the 602,603,604 australian system confusing, as its not stamped on all
what do we all think??
