HI:

I'm trying to date a 31 carb so I think can anyone tell me what this is on the engine side of the carb it says 47D indented into it and either a 9 or a 6 depending how you look at it to me I think it's 9 but who knows.

Any way the carb I have is a zenith 1 and the letters are all indented and a ( Z ) up on top of it I tried looking in the restoration and judging standards book but that really doesn't show the other side of the carb I can take pics of the carb but I would have to have your E-Mail to send them to you cause I can never get this site to upload the pictures right for me anyway.

But if there's someone that rebuilds these carbs let me know and we can go from there.

Thanks reggie

Methinks that a 47D is a Tillotson carburetor

You have a Zenith 1 carburetor. The 47D and 6 are casting numbers that no one seems to have any information on. Probably a carb type or date or shift code. The Z on the top and Zenith 1 on the bottom make it a Zenith made carburetor.
