Post by Harv »

I'm still mucking around with the history of the Holden BX Stromberg carby. In addition to the 23-XXX numbers stamped on the air horn, the initial BX carbs (1976) had these numbers stamped into them:
MV 2850cc manual engines
AV 2850cc automatic engines
MX 3300cc manual high compression engines (early 1976)
MA 3300cc manual high compression engines (late 1976)
AX 3300cc automatic high compression engines
MB 3300cc manual low compression engines
AB 3300cc automatic low compression engines
MY 3300cc manual cab chassis
AY 3300cc automatic cab chassis

I cannot find any stamping info though for those BX carbs produced after 1976... the workshop manuals are silent on these stampings. I don't know if the stamps were continued through to the VB Commodore, or dropped after 1976. If anyone has a HZ, WB, late LX, UC or VB Commodore, would they mind checking the float bowl for those stampings please? Need both the stamping and the 23-XXX number to confirm please.
