    I have been following the thread on 100-M carbs.  I happen to be in the
process of rebuilding two pairs of H-6s on 100-M manifolds.  I have had both
sets since the early seventies  I don't think anyone was reproducing "M"
manifolds at that time so I think they are legit.  The carbs came with the
manifolds so the chances are good they may be correct also.  The carbs have
the "AUC 6040 X" number but I cant see any other hand etched numbers.  On my
H-4s there is a small plinth with hand etched "6000"numbers but the H-6s have
no such dedicated number location.  Exactly where should I look for the hand
etched numbers?    The bodies of the carbs I have only have one of the
mounting bosses machined off.  All four bodies have three bosses.  According
to previous posts, three bosses should have been removed leaving only one. Is
that correct. If these carbs are not 100-Ms what could they be?  maybe from a
100-6 or 3000?  I have tried to find
 photos of a 100-M engine showing the carbs in the books I have without much
luck.  Not enough detail.    My cars are kind of bitzas so the info is more
interest than necessity.  Anyone have anything to add?Ray Juncal
