carburetor date

[lilfighta]

Hello could someone tell me how many months prior to a car being built is the carb date. For example if car was
built in june 1968 would a February or March be correct. Also what carb came on car rochester or carter. Or you need the build sheet
thx mike

I thought Carter was building Q-jets for a while or am I mistaken?...Joe

The story was when rochester couldnt supply enough to gm carter was building them and they did build them for awhile and if i remember they started in 1965 - 1970 i think dont hold me to the exact dates. Does anyone know about the date codes for june 1968 camaro

Carter built Quadrajets were built and used for many years - including 67-9.
>However, Carter was also licensed to build the Quadrajet as a secondary source, and supplied carburetors to not only Chevrolet, but other GM divisions as well.
June car probably had a May or June carb on it (depending on when in June).

 Both of my '67 L35's (04B & 05B) have their original Carter made Quadrajets.

Carb for June car, yes most likely dated in May. Early June carb possible if car is a late June build.

Thank you KurtS and Mike. A friend told me that it is possible that you can use a carb built
in March or April also. He said you can go back as far as 2-3 months just trying to clarify this.

My thinking the date depends in part of the engine popularity so I'm sure the carb date would vary.
