GaryP65 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I got a gasket set from Myers but puzzled by some of them. I can identify two but don't know the others. Any help would be greatlying appreciated. Trying to post photo but phone won't let me. I'll try tonight from home.

carbking Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) There are at least 10 different of the Detroit Lubricator/Stewart carburetors used by DB on the 4's. Had the kit been purchased from us, we include one of each of the gaskets used on ALL of the different carbs, as the customer rarely knows which carburetor the customer has. Cheaper to include them all than have to ship out one later. Looks like the vendor from whom this was purchased does the same. The above comment is NOT a shot at the customer's expertise. Most of the bowl covers on the DL/Stewart DB carbs are more or less interchangeable. PLUS, many Stromberg and Zenith bowl covers also interchange. As the fuel needles are also more or less interchangeable, many of these carbs were "rebuilt" decades ago with the wrong parts that the "rebuilder" had, and thus for less money. Quite common to see DL/Stewart carbs on ebay with a Stromberg or Zenith top or vice versa. Jon.

carbking Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If you look at the bowl cover, you may see a series of STAMPED letters and numbers. An example might be A-25200. This would decode as: A = January25 = 1925200 = identification number 200 Reread my first post in that this will allow you to decode the bowl cover, but it may have been replaced. Jon.

GaryP65 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) What do you make of this? Car was built mid august of 25. Looks like it may be the original carb. H=July?
