Carb Number deciphering
Happy Holidays to All and I hope you're all doing well!
I am asking if some one can read this carb number. It looks to be over stamped with the part number. This came off of a 1967 351E so its a Stromberg WWC. It was free and I was going to rebuild it. Let's see what you can see...and thanks for your input. Henry

Best guess 23-197a VERIFIED ON "THE CARBURETOR SHOP"'S WEBSITE.

Re: Carb Number deciphering
What is the jagged blackout at the right side? If there is an "A" after the far right "7", they are the same number. Otherwise they are the same number and one has an "A" and the other does not. Carb Shop shows 1967 351 for 23-197. Do not see an "A". But there was an "A" revision carb.

Re: Carb Number deciphering
Thank you AZKen, it was hard to read and again I though it was a GMC Part number.
Appreciate all the input and reference to the Carb Shop too.

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

Then get the part number, links to a rebuild kit, common problems to look for, the history of the carb, and it's parent's DNA sample mailed to the front door. Try doing that with most places and all you get is blank stares or some 15 year old kid telling you you're retarded for not buying some cheap chinese junk for 15.00 on bingbong.china.com
