Serial numbers used to date code our 28 PCI carburetors

[BulliBill]

Hi all,

I searched but didn't discover a topic about using the serial numbers stamped into the bowl area of our 28 PCI carburetors to sort of "date code" our carbs. Not sure if others have tried to sort out when various carbs were made and track any improvements made in them. I have a box full of 'em and wondered (other numerical progression of serial numbers) how to basically date code them. A few of us might want to find a carb serial number appropriate to the year the engine was produced.

Anyway, if there is already a thread, please point me toward it, or lets do this!

Some of the digits are a bit hard to read. All of the serial numbers I have are either six or seven digits long. My earliest 28 PCI carb in the box is #722944 and my latest is #4998957

There is no specific thread about it as far as I know but I have seen it asked a few times.

A recent thread though:
