Can anyone help me identify this carb ?
I know it's a '69, but for what application ?
What's up with the full # (7029251) and no date code ?
Any help would be appreciated.

 

69 400 & 455, automatic trans. The date code might be on the base plate

 

Thanks.
Does that include Toros ?
I have had this carb for over 35 years stored in it's original carb box. It looks as if it was never used, at least I never mounted it.
If it was original shouldn't it have the gold colored plating ?

 

the Toro is a 7029252 and the throttle linkage is different

What's the date stamped on the base plate? There were a lot of 69 service replacement carbs that were manufactured in the 70's. I had a 7029253 that had a 75 date code

 

I will check and report back.

 

Some of the '69 "7029251 RJ"carbs simply did not have any kind of date code. I have both a '68 4-4-2 and a '69 4-4-2 and have inspected several carbs for both years. All of the '68 carbs I saw had date codes stamped into the base plate. I never saw a date code stamped into the base plate on a '69. There were some '69 carbs that had date codes with abbreviated carb numbers ("29251 RJ") stamped into the normal positions but that's it.

Randy knows 69 stuff a lot better than I do so I defer to him on this for sure.....

 

Rick,
To answer your question, the 7029251 RJ carb was used on the 1969 4-4-2 model with automatic transmission (except for the W-30 and W-32) as well as on all '69 Hurst/Olds. That looks like a pretty darn nice carburetor that you have! I'm not sure about the gold-colored plating or if it was ever there...maybe it just faded away over the years?!

Thanks guys and thank you Randy for the info.
I own a 70 W30 and I am not that good with the numbers of other years. I will take a closer look and post pics of entire carb for closer inspection from those who may know more than me.
Thanks again

 

I don't know, Randy. It's hard to tell from that one photo, but it almost looks like the carb was painted when it was rebuilt.
