I purchased some carbs recently. 2 of them are 3418. dated 952 and the other is OB2. when did they build the L88 corvettes in 69. just trying to figure out if the 952 could be a original. thank you.

The 3814 carb was only used in 1967. GM sold them as an over the counter performance carb for a long time after that.

Thanks,

Jason

Every 3418 I ever saw was a -1. Haven't ever seen a plain 3418 without the dash one. Do they even exist?

----Bugsy,,,Throw in to the mix that there are two different carbs listed for 69 L88s. One for closed chambered early cars and one for open chambered later cars......Bill S
