I have one of those "non sight gauge" die cast CCKW carburetors from a 1st Series CCKW. This is the holy grail of the CCKW carburetors that a few of the numb nuts in the hobby say never existed. It is NOS with matching Zenith and GM part numbers on the circle disk and will be installed on my CCKW in short order.

Photograph please Ben, and point out what's so rare about it too, please. I don't know the 'sight gauge' thing.

I do have a die-cast carb in a drawer somewhere, but I expect it is just the ordinary one, if for no other reason other than it is finished in that horrible British Eau-de-Nil green paint.

Will do. And the Carburetor is the 1st model Zenith to be installed on 1st Series CCKW it is GM 2135998 Zenith 9778 .
There was a previous 28AV11 Die Cast used on the CCKWX, it was GM-2103965, Zenith 9472
Both are ZENITH Type 28AV11 and have no sight plugs on the float bowl for checking float level., The sight plug came later, just when is no big deal, as it is a known fact that the 9778 first installed had no "sight plugs".
