No specification tags on the carbs? Burlen/SU Carb's website gives AUC 
429T (H2) for the TB and TC, with damper.

Mike Harvey's book, "Skinner Union" states that the hydraulic damper was 
introduced in 1938.  The dashpot suction pistons prior to that had solid 
guide rod.  They were made of zinc alloy Mazak from 19218 to 1939 and 
brass from 1925 to 1948.

> i am sorry i did not explain myself better.  these carbs have no tube to put a damper into.  the piston rod is solid metal with a small hole drilled in the top.  there is no rod attached to the cap and the cap has not suffered damage.   think it is an older style piston that has been stuck in the carbs.  still confused.
