I'm calling from memory but will look @ my tags. I don't think those are the correct shape. I think the OEM units are of a right triangle shape. Those do not have the RP logo either,

There is one exception to my statement. I have seen brass center carb tags that were shaped like a pyramid like those in the eBay ad if my old memory is correct.

The aluminum by far is the most common but I know for sure there were some brass units but not sure about the shape.

I have a 66 tri carb. set up on my 65 442, when I got the car the tags were missing, but I found a gentleman that reproduced them with the right carb numbers. His name is Mike and I think he's in Neb.? I recently read here that he has serious health issues and has been listed as persona non grata on this Forum. Any way the three tags are different colors. Red, Black and Green. My car is in storage right now and not at my house. I may get to it Sat. and check what are the numbers are and let you know. Guy

The front carb # is 7026055 and is green.
The center carb # is 7026056 and is gold/brass
The rear carb # is 7026057 and is black.

The guy who had the tags is Mike Siedlik and as far as I can tell is no longer selling them.

Hi Brian,
I sure can explain, the need for tags are part of doing it my way.
In my eyes the tags are part of the charm of admiring a nicely restored L 69 set up.
They look naked without tags lol

Mikes site has been down for some time now.
I was hoping someone might see my ad here that had an extra set of Mikes tags they are not using and be willing to sell them.
I have seen pictures of Mikes tags and they look very nice.

I might have a set of the tags, would have to look. I also got some genuine RP tags with carb altitude kits at dealerships decades ago; they are bronze colored aluminum and iirc are blank to be filled in by the dealer when installing the kit. I heard years ago that the repro Tri-Carb tags cost $150.

Looks like I have two sets of used tags, and two sets worth of "ALT" [altitude] blank tags, all aluminum.

I knew if anyone would have tags it would be you. Very nice of you to help someone out. One of the true good people in the hobby. Hope this person appreciates it.
