Don't know core value, but it's from a 70 W-30 455 MT, probably worth a few bucks if it's a good core (rebuildable).

q jet 7040256
went to an auction this summer small town repair shop going out of business. was looking to buy a cylinder head for my 392 international.( valves ground surfaced $10.00).there were piles of carbs saw a front inlet q-jet put it in a pile with several other q-jets and got them. got it home was going to put it on my GTO. got a kit for it. took it apart there was no power valve. remembered in doug roe's book he said tongue in cheek i know what to do with the power valve take it out. so i assumed someone had taken it out to improve performance. so i popped out the brass plug and put in a power piston and metering rods. put on a different air horn i had modified then i decied the primary shaft was loose . put on the throttle body off another q-jet with good shaft play.by the time i got this far it was too cold to drive the convertable. i was reading on the 442 website found where the 70 W-30 31 carbs were made with out primary rods or power piston . the # was the same as my carb .now im debating useing it on the gto cause it can be converted to electric choke easily or selling it.

W-30 carbs didn't use power valves.
Do you have the original throttle plate? Check your PMs. C.J.

Purchased a 1970 442 W-30 in 1973. Have kept it insured and registered since. Have maybe put a total of 2000 miles on the car since I bought it. I'm trying to locate the original carburetor #7040256 and distributor #111977. If you have either one or know where I could find either one of these items please let me know. Thanks, Joe
