Once again Tom catches me!

Tom,

The forward metering block on that carb is a replacement from a List 4699. The original had several problems that rendered it unusable.

I thought you might question the 7A2 date code on the carb. This translates as follows:

7= 1967 Year of Manufacture
A = November, Month of Manufacture
2= second week of month

1968 GTE 427 engine manufacture can be documented between August 1967 and the end of January 1968 although 427 cars were assembled as late as June 1968. A carb with 834 date (1968, March, 3rd week) would be acceptable from a judging standpoint at a CCOA meet but probably did not come on an original engine as you said in an earlier post. It would likely be a service replacement / warranty replacement type of part.
