carburetor ID
I got this Carter QuadraJet and can't figure out what it's off of. Google was no help. Can someone tell me what it is? Thanks.

Carter built Quadrajets for Rochester whenever Rochester needed to increase their production. Most of the time, simply adding 70 or 701 or 702 or 703 or 704 in front of the number Carter stamped on a carb they built for Rochester brings up the correct Rochester application, but it doesn't seem to on this carb.

It's a Q Jet made by Carter. I'll get more pictures today. Would this be a Aug '69 carb? And the last number being even, would be for an automatic?

Have you cleaned and looked for more numbers in other areas? I seem to remember they would stamp on the back side too ?? Been a LONG time since I dealt with Quadrajets' on a daily basis.
I'll ask the obvious and unnecessary question...I assume the tag is gone from the cover screws ? Don't recall if Carter even used them.

A few more pictures. I didn't find any more numbers on the body. Is H9 the date?

The date has me confused, along with the stamp. Maybe this is a service replacement carb? If it's for a '67 application then the date is wrong. Also, the '67 Q Jet carbs that I have all have the round disc with the numbers on it like this one.

I bought a brand new service dated Rochester built q-jet for my 67 327 Caprice drag car and it had the seven digit stamped in date, not the round tag style. This was in 1973, so the carburetor also came with the later style needle and seat, thankfully.
