Now if you look at Pimstons carb tag 7027009 it’s a 67 carb number but has a M8 date for 1968 . This means it’s an over the counter service replacement made after production

I don’t see a 3 or 8 in the list so most likely a 9
Great, thanks for the info. Somewhere out there is a mountain of carb tags that those rebuilders tossed over the years, I really want mine back!
