Bought a 66 Tri power intake and carbs many years ago. Now taking a shot at figuring out exactly what I wound up with. Photos below show the center carb that was on the intake. Only two numbers I can find on it are 7037688 on the bowl and 31892 cast into the bottom of the base plate. I have owned Tri power cars since 1977, so I’m somewhat familiar with the setups, but I’m no expert. Much of this carb looks familiar, but the base plate seems weird. I realize it could be a Frankenstein version somebody cobbled together. Can anybody offer any insight as to what this thing is?

Edit: discovered more numbers stamped into choke side of the bowl as follows:

7029104
2 CB91

Bowl 7029104 is 1969 Chevy 327, air horn has cast # inside, idle vent cover is a Chevy thing.
Throttle plate looks legit, wrong style idle needles though.

I decided to look this one up in the 1969 Rochester book;
Curiously in the index, this application number isn't listed, but it is shown on the 327-2bbl page shared with the following application numbers;
7029127 (manual trans/standard)
7029129 (manual trans/air cond)
7029102 (automatic trans/standard)
7029104 (automatic trans/air cond)

7029104 is indexed in all mine 60´s, 70´s and 80´s #9 Delco manuals.

Well I was pretty sure this was not correct for this set up, so I’ll see if I can send it down the road to some Chevy guy. Thanks for helping me figure out the original application on this

Would be interested in the carb if you're going to send it down the road. Let me know. Thanks Joe

With Pontiac throttle plate and (Pontiac?) airhorn it´s not a Chevy carb either, more like a "Frankencarb."
