I picked up a carb today and wondered if anyone can decode these numbers/letters? 7040246 LK 0720 I think its 70 stage 1 but what is the other letters etc... Thanks Dustin
This should answer your question. It is a 1970,buick 4 bbl and is on the list for a 455 stage 1 for all trans. carbs.net/quadnumber.htm(paste and copy)
I'm really wondering what the LK 0720 means. If anyone could help that would be great... Thanks Dustin
Rich Thanks for the info. Do you by chance no what plant LK is? Is that flint. Since all Stage 1 cars were built there in 70? Thanks Dustin
Dustin Rochester made carbs for all GM models, not just Buick. I believe the LK was to signify a factory issue Stage1 carb, as opposed to a replacement which would have the same part number, but different 2 character code (in addition to the date code). Other 1970 Buick carbs would have different letters. Usually, each carb part # would have a unique 2-letter code to go along with it.
Thanks Guys:TU: I was just wondering if it was a legit carb? As far as date correct. I guess it is:beer Thanks Dustin
No Guessing - It legit for a '70 Stage car built after March 1970 :beer People look for this specific carb from time to time - good find :TU:
