By the way as someone already stated none of the repop wing nuts are correct. If you want an original correct wing nut for your incorrect carb you gotta get one from a real original car.
(says one of the original "beat the dead horse until it is gone" posters of the infamous "wing nut" thread here on Moparts)
I still have several original 6 pak/6bbl wing nuts including a date coded restored set of carbs for a 69 1/2 4 speed car.
Give it up. You are supposed to have a Holley. Just for ghits and siggles, what is the date code and part number on your "original" carter.
i'm happy that you still have your original 6 pak/6bbl wing nuts with your vintage carbs. You must be very proud. I'd be perfectly willing to give you the date codes of the 2 Carter AVSs that I had but no longer do because they were sold off at least 15 years ago and yes, i do recognize that, had I kept them, there would not have been such an animated discussion here on Moparts dot com because the answer would be on those dates. Those carbs would have most likely would have had 70/71 dates. All it would have proved is that they were made back then for what ever Lo-Performance C Body 383 they went on. So why don't we put this thing to rest?

It's not on the fender tag cause the car didn't come with it.

So why don't we put this thing to rest? Right now I'm thinking those carbs would have likely had a slightly later date. It would have proved that the carb was not original to the car. If so, I would have known that something was wrong back then. But that never happened and so this continues. But answers are starting to filter in.

Ever take a statistics class?
The possibilities of dates on those 2 carbs would have been early, right on, late, or built several years after 1971. All means nothing because they never put a 6125 AVS on a RR. But there were C-body 383 4 bbl cars built the same day your car was and the carb date would be right.
You see how it all goes full circle?
Nay nay. If built several years after, it definitely would have meant something.
