Dec '69 date coded 440-6 pack carbs. Now sorted thanks.
« on: October 14, 2012 - 07:59:22 AM »
Hi guys
My friend needs to replace the non-original 6 pack carbs with 1969 dated carbs to complete the restoration on his '70 440-6 pack 4 speed Cuda. The car has a Dec. 1969 build date. I don't know how far in advance of Dec. the carbs could be dated, anybody know ?
If used, the carbs will need restoring / replating, any suggestions as to a good place to use ?
Any suggestions to a supplier who would have some already done ?
Thanks

Martin

Martin:  Go to this website and email the guy, Scott Smith.  His restorations are second to none, he should have a set or can get hold of a set.  www.harmsauto.com  He is a Mopar only guy.  He has done over 25 carbs for me,a nything from a lowly one bbl to a set of six back carbs and everything inbetween.  Highly recommended.

Scott has promptly replied that he rarely has parts himself and doesn't know of any. So the search is back on.

Have you tried Wildcat auto wrecking.  :clueless:  Sandy, Oregon. Never know they may have or know where to find one.

Update - Vanessa @ Wildcat has promptly replied that they don't have any.

Thanks  :thumbsup: even though he has them listed as '69/5, they are 1970 carbs so I hope the dates right.
