Re: 4053 carb
 

How do you decipher what that 4 digit date code is?

Re: 4053 carb
 

92nd day of 1971, 1981 or 1991. Probably 1971 in this case.

You could ask Eric (vintagemusclecar). He would know for certain.

Re: 4053 carb
 

The four digit started in 1972 or 1973.......Eric will know for sure.

An example of a four digit would be 1648.......that's the 164th day of 1978 or 1988 and so on. Sometimes when I take a carb apart, it will have some sort of casting date on the carb and/or metering blocks. It's a circle the a dots on the outside depicting the month (I believe) and the last two numbers of the year in the middle of the circle for example "88" for 1988.

Re: 4053 carb
 

4-digit date codes started in 1973. Pictured carb has no secondary squirter boss, so 1971 92nd day.

Re: 4053 carb
 

^ this came out all wrong, but I can't edit it.
According to CRG, 4-digit date codes started during 1973. Holley started making provision for secondary squirter boss in main body during, or after, 1970. So I'd expect the pictured carb (without such a squirter boss) to be early 1970's (1971) rather than 1981 or later, but apparently 1971 predates 4-digit dating?
