Re: Carb Number deciphering
23-197 is a Bendix-Stromberg number. The GM part number for that carburetor is 8867232, and it's WWC for a 351E without an AIR pump. When you rebuild it, pay particular attention to the air horn (top cover) and make sure that the bottom is perfectly flat. Common problem with the WWC was over-tightening the air cleaner wing nut would pull up and distort the air horn, and cause an internal vacuum leak. Other than that, the WWC was a good carburetor
