Charlie,

Put me down for a copy, please. I'd gladly reimburse you for any expenses.

I agree with Mike that it sounds like you have two '33s and one '32, at least terms of the bases. Only late '32 and all '33 upper die castings have a lip to prevent the air cleaner from being mounted too low and '33 center sections have a larger diameter accelerator pump bore. (But then you probably know all that). Over the years, the re-builders mixed the bases with '32 throttle shafts showing up frequently in '33 bases.
