What I am saying is that if a person is not an expert then it would be recommended that the information that is asked for is given.
There can be many unknowns when ordering stuff. For instance if I came into your shop and said I want a thermo quad carburetor and you asked me for the engine size and vehicle that it was for and I said that because I once put a thermo quad on and it fit and worked that they are all the same.
If I order a rebuild kit for a governor system for an EMD 567 and if they ask me for the numbers that are on the tag then I am going to willingly give it because I do not know the difference. They are the experts and I am quite sure that they are not going to go thru that much data entry if it was not necessary .
I worked at a scrap yard for 7 years in the past and we did sell whole carbs on the “if it fits, it’s the one” basis. We both know that’s wrong. I did have some customers complain when I asked for some info and not to make the customer mad I gave to them what ever would bolt on even if I figured they would lose a lot of fuel economy and drivability.
You are an expert in your field and know what will work and what wont. You likely know the problem described below because you deal with it everyday. But to a person like myself, I recommend that they provide as much information as possible to let the parts person do the best job that they can.

Thank you

Repair Kits
Generic repair kits can be a problem. As the CJ-3B has one of the smallest engines to use the YF (the YF was used on the Ford 300 CID 6-cylinder,) some kits which may be offered may not have correct gaskets, and especially the correct fuel valve. The fuel valve used for the 938 series carburetors was part number 25-190S with an orifice of 0.076 inch. The more common YF (used on Chevrolet and Ford) used orifices from 0.093 to 0.101 inch. Do the math with the equation for area on these and you can understand why many experience flooding problems
