I need a 1964 trpower front carb # 7024178 for my 64 GTO with automatic transmission. Do you have one you would sell?
Rochester did not start putting carb numbers on the 2 bbls until 1968. The numbers you find in restoration guides only appear on the carb tags attached to one of the airhorn screws. Often people e-mail me giving me “carb numbers” that appear in a circle on the passenger side of the floatbowl section. These are casting numbers for the floatbowl section. Rochester used the same casting for several carbs, then machined them for specific applications. There is one exception to this rule. If you bought a new Rochester carb at the dealer after 1968, Rochester DID stamp the carb number onto the passenger side of the floatbowl, horizontally. I have only seen 2 or 3 of these carbs in many years of restoring tripowers. Another diffenece I have noted about these carbs is that they also have phillips head screws holding down the airhorn. So, since numbers non most tripower carbs only appear on the tags, and tags can be easily switched, beware. The only way to identify a tripower carb is visually.
