1956 Intake number decoding

[Lee Green 56]

I am running a two barrel carburetor, can someone help me decode the numbers on the intake?
Im assuming I have Ford carburetor. I just "rebuilt" it, it did not have the i d tag.

B9 would be a 1959 engineering code.

Well then, the mystery thickens! Dad bought my car in 1974 & as far as I can remember this is the only intake the car has had since then.

Not really a mystery, it was a well loved car that was driven a lot. Most likely the engine was replaced when it was between 10 and 15 years old.

Dad has been gone since 2013. This car was definately his baby. I do know the rear end was changed to a 3 73 gear set before he bought it. It had a 3 speed when new, a 3 speed over drive when he bought it.
He didnt drive it much, but he sure did smile when he did!
