I'm rebuilding a Carter WCD, tag number 663S. I need some settings information. First, can anyone tell me the application (make, model and year) of this carburetor. It has the vacuum switch so I'm pretty sure it is for a Buick and it will be going back on a Buick. Also, I need the float level setting and initial setting for the idle mixture screws for this carburetor plus any other info you might have about this tag number. Many thanks!

Albert. Thanks for the information; I'll incorporate the settings tomorrow AM. I was hoping that someone would have the book on this carb. You saved me a lot of digging, I appreciate it.
