Randy,
Most maybe but definitely not all. The important number was the hand
scribed (etched) number below that on the carburetor body, i.e., 6047 and
6053.
Too many folks get wrapped around the axle about the carburetor being AUC
6040 X and that's just not the case, there are plenty of factory 100M cars
with AUC 6040 AA on the carburetor bodies. Once again the etched numbers
are what's important.
Typically TR3 Carburetors are AUC 6040 AC bodies, as these can be converted
to 100M specifications, I'm doing a set as I write this with original 100M
manifolds. NOT so with Jaguar XK140 H6 carburetors, just ask me and I'll
tell you. With a little work only the most decerning eye will be able to
tell the difference, but there's no attempt to deceive on my part.
Cheers,
Curt
