    It's a Rochester carb, it was in a 56 Chevy 235.
    Any guesses as to the stamped number? Trying to get the rebuild kit for it....

    I'm thinking 7003538 or ????

    Not of my guesses (there were a few more lol) are on the carb doctor website. Screenshot_20220913_200543_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20220913_200526_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20220913_200543_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20220913_200526_Gallery.jpg 20220913_195435.jpg
    Thanks in advance

    I'd rub a piece of chalk over the numbers and then wipe off the body.

    that's a casting number. You need the number that was stamped on the brass tag, held on by one of the screws on top. It's long long gone.

    Clean off the gasket surface where it bolts to the manifold. I've seen lots of Rochester B carbs that had the last four digits of the I.D. number stamped there.

    Well that's why I come here for knowledge, there it was 9254, right where you said.

    Maybe you'll get lucky and get one for a 261. :D If you end up getting a re-built carb, a lot of people didn't know when they sent their 261 carb in they would get a 235 back. The 261 had a bigger throat and butterfly. Lippy

    The 7003538 is, as mentioned, a casting number for a throttle body "blank" which could be machined a number of different ways, and used on a number of different Rochester type B carburetors.

    The 9254, again as mentioned by others in this thread, is the last 4 digits in part number 7009254.

    7009254 was used on a 1956 Chevrolet 235 passenger with powerglide.

    One rebuilding kit number is a CS-337.
