1965 Carter AFB 3720 stamping

[Jimmy B.]

I am looking for a carburetor for my 1 owner 65 Corvette I just purchased/acquired and I have found one within the acceptable time period.

The carburetor base plate is stamped with the 3720SB mfg number but the B5 date is stamped below this number and not on the same line.

Has anyone else ever seen this? I thought that these numbers were ususally stamped on the same line.

Thanks in advance.

I have a 3721SB and a 3720SA both stamped in a similar manner as the one you are looking at.

Jim;

Does that mean you won't be at the winter meet here in January? Aw, come on! Be great to meet and visit.
