Honda CB Carburetor Compatibility

[Hondacb550man]

I have a broken carburetor body and wanted to buy a new carb for my 1974 honda cb 550k. Should i strictly be looking for an original carb from 1974 cb550k or is there some overlap like.. can i used a honda cb550k carb from 75'? or 76'? does a supersport cb550F carb overlap, etc?

There are some differences throughout the years. The ss carbs are slightly different, but the k model carbs are similar. I want to say k3-5 carb bodies were the same.

Mad science bitches!

If you got the entire rack of carbs, would they bolt onto the head the same though?
