Yes,that would work.The 253 carbs were made a little more random,so there are a variety of dates for those.
You "could" use the 1779 date,but it is too early to be close to what the original one was,for a car built January 14th,1970.

Does anyone know why yenko.net shows the 256 carb being correct? Could that be a canadian built difference?
