Randy,
The 6047 and 5053 are what makes the carburetors 100M versions so I don't
see getting around this. Once again, IT DOESN'T MATTER what the AUC 6040
suffix is, if the carbs were produced during the period then they
should/would have been etched accordingly. Now all we need is definitive
proof.
