Hey Steve,

We're back home from our trip.

As an aside, we spent a week in our motor home in Pigeon Forge, TN. We came in during a major regional Rod Run event which was a surprise to us. Ordinarily, this would be a great bonus to find on a trip but this was a mess. Lots of gorgeous cars from what we could see. However, you can't bring 125,000 visitors into a town with a permanent population of 6,400 without creating MAJOR traffic issues. So it wasn't as great as it could have been.

As for my carburetor, I checked the link you gave me (thank you for that!). The dead give away that it's not original to my '67 is that Holley used a 3-digit date code up until 1973. I have a 4-digit code so it can't possibly be the born-with carb. The date code translates to October 11 in a year ending in 8.

Actually, I'm not disappointed because knowing it's not original, I'll save the money on getting it restored.

Take care,
Steve
