I've decided to go with a Q-Jet for my '70 442 auto, but would like thoughts on the carbs. The 7040257 is correct for my car, but am looking out there and the word "reasonable" doesn't apply to most of what I am finiding. Brothers has a 7040257, but it's a reproduction which makes me wonder if it's worth the $. Anyone know where to acquire an original or what the price ranges you've seen for these? Thanks!

 

Don't walk... run away from Brothers.

 

Ha, thanks! I emailed from the ad they had on another site saying they had carbs in stock. When I got the email back it had one price for the 7040257 and then another for an "original" 7040257 which made me uneasy.
