Longs... I'm curious if your late built '67 also has the '68 style accelerator cable bracket on the manifold?

I don't know what distinguishes the 68 style from the earlier style, here's a picture. It has the same part number as in your photo. What is different between the 68 style and the earlier style?

Looking at my picture, I really need to spend some time cleaning the carb!

That's it! Part number "9792069" stamped just below the cable like in my photo above. Also, it has a "tang" for clamping the power brake booster hose to it for '68 and up Pontiacs like my other photo shows. I can't see the "tang" on yours as it's covered up by your plug wire loom bracket which by the way is mounted incorrectly if you'd like to fix that. I'll post a photo for you of how it should be mounted. It mounts at the rear bolt hole in the head just above the freeze plug.

LOL... that's how my carb looked before rebuilding it, actually worse!

Thanks for confirming another "late '67 build" bracket usage.

I recently sold what was left of a 1970 Trans Am. I had dismantled the car years ago and only kept the firewall forward because everything else was pretty rusty. The build dates didn't make a lot of sense because the motor was all dated March but the cowl tag was showing July. It was a WV car with 70K original miles, auto with no a/c. The block had no VIN stamped in it at all. My guess is the original engine had problems, so the car was pulled off the line so a replacement YZ could be installed, and they didn't stamp the VIN.

I also had a 1971 YE with no VIN as well.

I see what you mean on the wire loom bracket, I had to go out and look at the head, at some point I'll relocate it to the right hole.

My original intake isn't on the car (I still have it), probably 35 years ago I noticed a small vertical crack at the base of the carb, and rather than attempting to get it welded, I replaced it with another '67 intake that I got from a junkyard, it's dated April 1967. The engine was also rebuilt over 30 years ago, so the wire loom bracket could have been incorrectly installed back at that time too.

In the context of the "date evaluation" that this post's about, my intake is dated June 6, 1967 so it was cast 17 days before my block.

Just for the sake of sharing here's a pic of my June Pontiac plant built GTO's bracket.
