Rules Verification for a Newbie

I hope that after you get it apart that you can find enough parts to get it back together in a timely fashion.

I should have most of it already on the shelf. I?ve been messing with these sbf a long time. I have stacks of new coated bearings, gaskets, new (legal) rods, etc. I already have a set of the valve springs they have listed as being in it. The only thing I don?t have is piston rings, because I need to see what it has now. I also have a brand new ?68 based 302 shortblock sitting here that I was already building when I bought the car. New Boss block, Eagle crank(again the legal one, took me 2 years to find it lol). Good rods and pistons, just no heads yet. Looking for a set of the NHRA legal aluminum castings that aren?t made anymore. I was going to build a car, then this one showed up. So again, not really concerned about getting it back together. This thread got so far off track , lol. I just wanted to know if the carb had to have the exact casting number as listed, or as long as it was the same type, venture size and throttle size, would it be legal, lol

This thread got so far off track. I really just wanted to know if my carb was legal. It has the correct Venturi size and throttle blade size, just not the correct 64 casting number. Otherwise, it’s identical to the ‘64 carb specs. And as I quoted from the rule book, it’s a little vague, unlike other sections that specify. Thanks everyone.
