Tri-power carb dates for 11/20/68 car

[Jack O.]

My '69's body date is 11/20/68. I want to purchase correctly dated tri-power carbs for the car. If you have a tri-power car with a build close to mine and original carbs could you please let me know the carb dates. I know the general guidance is so many weeks before the body build date and I have also read the the center is usually a couple weeks different than the ends - which are typically dated the same. Don't know how true that all is but nothing beats data from original cars. Thanks, Jack
