1469263 is on the one I am looking at. Parts book says 3510701 but that is group part nos?? Q

I would be believing Quentin on his numbers, as the Parts Book is only referring to actual Part Numbers.

There can be many casting numbers for one part number as there could be different manufacturers supplying one part over time.

The important number, or code, is the date manufacturing code that is cast into the product when the initial casting is made.    This is there so that if there is any faults found in the future, the actual parts can be located by their batch number.   Assists in recalls as well.

Thank you Bruce and Quentin ,
     Every now and then you see one advertised , It seems as though ,no one is sure if it is for a 56 or a 57 . I know there is a differance in the air cleaner because the 57 has the lower hood , but is there a differance in the daul carb set up ?  they both have the 365 engine  ( Carbs and  Manifolds )   
Thanks

Here is a cut and paste out of the Brougham parts list.  The intake was carryover regular Cadillac.  This would be the part for a 57.
