C2 Holley Carb 2818-1

[Mike M.]

The carb has these numbers stamped on it. 3849804 List 2818-1 and 1449. Can someone tell me what the 1449 is. The carb is suppose to be off a L79 vette. Which 2818-1 would be. The seller can't find a date code which should be 3 numbers or have a letter in between the 2 numbers. I can't find any reference for the number 1449. Is this a date code for a service replacement carb.
Thanks Mike

Looks like it's the 144th day of a year ending in 9. Could be 1979, 1989, or 1999. Don't know if Holley is still making replacements or not.

If it has slotted fuel bowl screws, it's probably 1979, with hex it could be 89 or possibly 99 (if they made them that late).
