Have anything?
Or any leads?

Thanks
No sir. I started with used a 2626S and a 2627S. After many stripped threads(thought I needed to change jets & Rods way too often. Young guys have to learn. LOL
Ordered a new pair, those numbers had been superseded. The replacements had thick, heavier weights on the secondary air flaps. I swapped those with the originals. I first drilled lightening holes in the weights, like I saw a couple of guys at Pomona had done.
Red Anderson said "Ed, you KNOW that is wrong!" Red did not like them tied up, either.
I got home, and put the lighter, earlier shafts & weights in the new carbs. Also put the old 2626S & 2627S tags on, because I felt like they needed to go together. Those were original '56/'57 carb numbers. Third record teardown, Wesley was helping Red. Wesley checked the numbers on the tags, and said "I have not seen these numbers in years!"
