Are you looking for manual or auto trans version?  Are you looking for a specific dated tag or anything with '67?

I do not have one but if you find one I would like to collect as many details as possible if you would share. The past three weeks I have been doing a survey of C6ZF-C and C6ZF-F assemblies. So far I have only one date code for a suffix C assembly falling in the 1967 model year and none of the suffix F type. So far I have some level of information collected for 29 samples.

Obviously, I cannot get pin gauge sizes of all the accessible calibrated parts in a carburetor from a set of pictures but I can pick up when designs of in certain parts changed over time. My data base still has some time frame gaps in it.

Thanks. I am looking for a manual transmission carb, manual choke, date correct for a car build date of 7/67. Thanks for your help!

For carburetors the date the engine was assembled is the date of interest. Carburetors could be dated two weeks to months before engine assembly dates and engines could have been assembled weeks to months before being installed in a vehicle.

Example: A friend's original 1965 289 High Performance engine.
4DE carburetor assembled
4HB ignition distributor assembled
4H16 cylinder block was cast
4J15 engine was assembled
later the engine was installed in a car

Last week of April (carburetor) to September 15 (engine assembly) was on the order of 4.5 months.
