Forgot about this old Q-Jet sitting on the shelf under a rag. SOLD IT

 

Yes, and more if it's not a re-stamp. I show this carb correct for a
70 W-30.

 

Restamp

 

with a 3366 date it would be a service replacement carb.... but.... $250.... yeah. . Well worth it

 

Why would you restamp with a service replacement date?

 

Look at the numbers a little bit closer never seen a service carb or an origanal that the numbers go down look at the 2 closely and never seen a stamp 3 then rest of numbers hit lightly among other things

 

The 8 looks up side down.

 

looks right..its a service carb, and is batch stamped by hand...the 258 is what i would expect...as far as alighnment..and the 8 is upside down, because a human stamped it..

and as said...no ones restamping a 1976 or 86 service piece..just my opinions...i'm more of an observer...not an expert by any means

and 76 is about right for service carbs, ive seen many in 76 77...and this one is 336th day of 76...notice theres no PICK code? well theres no pick code because its a service piece, never saw the assy line..

id bet its an original stamp...every one is so jumpy any more on anything that is an anomaly...ives seen 70 stage ones carbs with orig stamps worse..because they are low production and batch stamped

now a perfect stamp that late..yeah...id be more apt to say somethings wrong...

luckily they didnt try to wipe the date and date it early..id buy it if i needed it...

 

I disagree

 

OK, thanks for the educated info. I didn't know how to read any of that number.
I recall the car, a Blue '70 that the junk yard dropped off for me to look over before crushing. The intake was still on it so took that and the carb, exhaust manifolds were gone, gages and console was what I really was after. The real funny thing was looking in the truck, the OAI carb adapter was in a plastic garbage bag, along with empty oil cans, looked almost new. If anyone wants it here, good. If not, I'll just eBay the poor old thing!

 

Was it an aluminum intake?

 

I'm interested, I sent PMs last night and this morning.

 

Yes, it was a W-455 intake. The car had all the indications of being a real W30. Heads were wrong. I recall manual brakes, and hit hard RH front, frame and W/S post. Rusted up to the top of the rear fender wells. It could certainly have been saved by today's standards, but not even considered about 1984. Besides the vin and cowl tags, nothing went to waste. I put a '71 Convt clone together with most those pieces. (Called "tribute" cars now I see)

 

Looks like it has found a new home.
I will relist if still available later. Thanks for the replies, brings back memories..........

 

The number is correct for a '70 W30 Auto (not manual) . I've been advertising to buy one for a while without luck, so if the sale doesn't go through please let me know. Thanks.
