I'm looking at a 2x4 set up that has the following #'s associated with the carbs: 33134243s PE and 6-1779 Are these close to being the correct carbs? There is also some indication that they are for a 270hp car. Thanks for the help!!!

Re: C1 2x4 Carbs
On WCFB carbs the identifier for end use application was the ID tag Carter mounted under one of the air horn screws. This is ususally LONG gone after a prior rebuild and since it's easy to remove/change, isn't a solid way to identify the carb....
You go by the descriptive text in the applicable Judging Guide book for your year Corvette. The 'numbers' you want to match are the casting numbers on the body, air horn and choke body as well as the ID number on the Bakelite choke cover. There is a casting number for the base, but you can't see/read it without disassembly of the carb.
Sooooo, there's no good/quick way to tell what's what without detailed scrutiny of each of a given carb's major components. Since there were running changes and, for the most part, major cast items could be interchanged, you'll often run into a case of a WCFB carb core having gone through prior rebuilds and being a 'Heinz 57' today.... -
