[FWDLK] Carter carb ID

["Mark J. Hash" <mjh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a couple of Carter 4 bbl carbs I'd like to know their specific applications please.  First I took off a junkyard '56 Plymouth, is a 2302 S, under that number on the aluminum tag is L5 and under that is 3.  Second carb I was told came off a '55 DeSoto, tag number 2590 S, with the smaller numbers of  B7 and under that a 4.  What do the little bitty numbers on the Carter tags mean?  Is it a build date maybe?

 

Also, I know this subject has been covered before, but I have a severely stuck 301 now soaking in Marvel Mystery Oil.  If this doesn't unstick it what are some *unusual* or unorthodox methods of unsticking it before it earns the nickname BA (boat anchor)?
