old-tank Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Stromberg Aerotype call a different more knowledgeable dealer with the tag number on your carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Have the carburetor, a wire brush, a magnifying glass, a strong light, and a pair of young eyes when you give us a call. We make kits for all of the non-aircraft Stromberg carbs. And the "Aerotype" is NOT an aircraft carb. Jon.

Pilgrim65 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Thanks guys , your right although I'm a novice , they should have known a aerotype is a stromberg as they said they stock those. cheers pilgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953mack Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 What year of a Buick Shop Manual are you looking at? There is plenty of information out there on the Stromberg AAUVB-267 two-barrel carburetor that looks like what you might have.....http://carburetor-blog.com/files/stromberg_exploded_3.pdf Al Malachowski BCA #8965 "500 Miles West of Flint" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbking Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The number should be visible in the 5th picture. It is a stamped (recessed number), not raised. Should be on the top of the casting along the edge closest to you. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daves1940Buick56S Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Pilgrim: If I may put in a plug here - go with Jon at the Car Shop (2 posts up). He will work with you to make sure what you get is the right kit. Plus his kits are high quality. If Jon doesn't have it nobody does!

Beemon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't know how many carburetor changes there were for your year in terms of 2-bbl carbs, but you could check the part number for the Stromberg in the shop manual for your specific year and just *assume* its that number and go from there...

Pilgrim65 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks Beemoney My Manual says AAUVB same as marking on carburettor so as stated kindly above is AAUVB 267 sufficient for kit purposes Cheers Pilgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The number is STAMPED with metal marking stamps (a recessed number). It may be found by looking at a very clean top casting (airhorn) looking straight down at the top along one of the sides. If Buick, if will be in the format 7-nnn(l). nnn is a number between 1 an 200. l (if present) is a letter that signifies the engineering status of the carburetor. AAUVB is a type or model. A little more informative than saying Stromberg carburetor, but certainly insufficient to get the correct carburetor rebuilding kit.

Aaron65 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Pilgrim, As you look down from the top of the carburetor, the number will be stamped (very lightly) near the driver's side edge (facing up). It will be located on the flat of the carburetor lid, right along the edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) I'm also going to add that your carburetor looks pretty clean. I have the same carb on my '53, and it always has seeped a little from various areas (especially, for some reason, the lid gasket, even though the float level is correct). It'll also sometimes drip a bit from the throttle shaft after a hot soak, which is a problem caused by modern gasoline. Where does yours leak from? I've been into mine several times over the last 11 years, and it's not the driest carburetor in the world.

And, for sure, I would have hd a tough time with a Chysler product. But I did like the offer to call with your light and magnifying glass handy. How many post back was that?

1953mack Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 It's not that difficult to determine what kit you need for your carburetor rebuild if you can not find the carburetor number and think that it needs another rebuild (note the REBUILT sticker, Post 5, picture #4). Here are the only links that you need to look at that will give you all the information you need to determine whether you need the K619 or K4109 rebuilding kit. This first link's video will explain the differences between the two kits.....three-bolt or four-bolt mounting gaskets and the diameter of the accelerator pump leather cup size, 5/8" or 3/4": http://www.carburetor-parts.com/Stromberg-AAV-Series-_ep_410.html Check out this second link for the other marques and years that the K619 kit is applicable for: http://www.carburetor-parts.com/Stromberg-AAV-2-AAV-25-AAV-26-AAV-267-AAVB-267-AAOV-1-Carburetor-Repair-Kit_p_1037.html I would rebuild the carburetor myself rather than sending it out. I'll bet the house that you need the K619 kit. Al Malachowski BCA #8965 "500 Miles West of Flint" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 "Hi Jon you probably think is this man an idiot ? Feeling one at present as still can't locate stamped numbers ," Not at all. Everything is difficult until you see it the first time, and these numbers can be very difficult to see. I am photographically challenged, so trying to paint a picture using words. The numbers are on the top flat surface of the top casting. They are stamped with metal marking stamps, so recessed into the casting. The carburetor is wider from side to side than from front to back. You want to look on the top of the two sides, probably the side opposite the choke housing, although I have seen the number stamped on the choke housing side. Stromberg codified their numbers in the format ccc-nnna ccc is a number from 1 to 268 that represents the code Stromberg used for the company. A few common codes 2=Ford, 3=Dodge, 4=Chrysler, 7=Buick, 10=Packard, 205=Cadillac. nnn is a number from 1 to about 300 that represents the number of different carburetors sold to the company represented by ccc. a, if present, and it isn't always, represents the engineering change status for the unit in questions. So, some examples: 7-96 would be the first production AAVB-267 used on the 1954 Buick 7-96A would be the AAVB-267 used on the 1954 Buick WITH ONE MINOR ENGINEERING CHANGE 7-96B would be the AAVB-267 used on the 1954 Buick WITH TWO MINOR ENGINEERING CHANGES. 7-102 would be the AAVB-267 used on the 1955 Buick with no engineering changes. In the for what its worth category, Buick used 8 different type AAVB-267 carburetors (not counting engineering changes), which use 7 different rebuilding kits. If my word picture still doesn't work, give me a call: 673-392-7378 (9-4 Mon-Tues central time). Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Pilgrim: Sign on to Ebay Look up auction number 252570906298 Click on the 4th picture Move the mouse over the picture to enlarge the picture Observe the fillister airhorn screw closest to you and to your left. Just to the right of the screw, you can faintly make out the stamped 7. The rest of the number is hidden by the pump arm. Sorry that my camera skills don't allow me to take a better picture of one of my carbs. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron65 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 John, that's on the wrong side; it'll be over between the choke rod and the accelerator pump rod, almost perfectly opposite of your arrow. It's pretty light, but usually legible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
