1971 Six Pack carb numbers, restamp?? - 01/08/20 07:32 PM
Good afternoon!
I have a set of 1971 Six Pack carburetors but I have a question regarding the numbers on the outboard carbs. The font looks correct but it looks like they started out as something different and were re-stamped?? Was this something fairly common on ‘71 carbs? I have attached photos of each carb.
Thanks!
Stan

ive had a number of those throughout the years like that
too many to think that holley didnt do that
carter did funky stuff on their hemi carbs, so why not

I agree, I've seen a bunch over the years. Here's one on my very original T/A

From what I was told,they were left over from excess ,rather than increase production they were re stamped and used as needed. I've had a lot and the majority were 71 model year,easier to modify what you have rather than increase production.

That is correct, as i build six packs only and i see a few sets a year that has been re stamped, and its crude but Holley did do this.
