Looking for a 1969 442 W-30 carburator. # 7029254. The one that came with the car years ago that I thought was the original, turns out to be a 1969 buick with a olds base.

 

Check out these: oldsparts.com/page24.htm or
thepartsplaceinc.com/ocatalog/part.asp?VIC=48CatID=158YearList=1969

Be prepared, I bought a fully restored and rebuilt 7029254 carburetor about 6 or 7 years ago and paid $950.00! They are hard to find but they are out there.

 

Ouch! I didn't know they were bringing that kind of money,Hopefully I can locate one alittle more reasonable. But then again look at the price a good 1969 4 sp. console brings today. LOL. I just bought one. Thanks for the info. I will look into them as an option.

 

I don't know if the guys on this website are going to like this but go to:
442.com, go to parts for sale, go to AD#68085 dated 7-6-2011

 

Here is someone else who has your carburetor: carbjunky, I believe they are in Atlanta, Georgia and their phone number is: 770 457 8570. I do not know how much they are asking but they do have the carb.

 

Tom, thanks for this info. I contacted them and they do have one. I'm working out details with them now. I'll let you guys know how I make out when I get it. Also thank for other replies as well.

 

Hi, Who are you and where are you from and where is your store?? I noticed this is you first post and you joined sept. 17. I can understand we all stared with the first post but..... After I send you my phone #, you called me from a privite caller phone and are very hard to understand with a very thick asia accent?? Not that thats a problem, just that every thing seems to be in a rush. Your price at 250.00 and 280.00 shipped seems way under priced from what I'm seeing?? You told me the #'s are very good on carb. what ever that means and thats it. You also keep saying on the phone and in your emails that " you are a very busy man " and go on to say for me to send you my address so you can start making arrangments with a shipping agent? The pics. you sent me are of a different carb. one was a Holly ??? Then this morning you call me at 7:00 am. makes me wonder where are you located or was that just bad judgement. Help me out guys what do you think am I over thinking this with concern or am I not seeing a good deal

 

Scam

 

Run for the hills!

 

Thats what I was thinking Thats why I posted what I did to warn others of this BS. Then I got a pm from Defiant1 that confirmed my thinking that went like this:

Looks like a couple of people beat me to it. I was actually waiting to see if the guys was actually going to respond first.

Thanks for making us aware.

And a guy in Nigeria has an Olds carb? He can apologize all he wants, it still smells to high heaven.

 

WOW! Never saw that coming!!! Great start. Spell check anyone!!

 

I have a 7029251 if you are good with a dremel tool that 1 could be a 4 real easy!

 

Ive dealt with Carb Junkies before. They did my W-30 carb and it runs perfectly. You wont be dissappointed

 

In all fairness to this guy from Nigeria I think its time for me to take up a collection of W30 parts to send to him. Please PM me with all your extra W30 parts and I will make sure they get shipped to him safely - I will even cover shipping costs.

 

Tony, I can believe that. I will let you guys know, I talked to them and they had the one I needed. I ordered it should take about 3 weeks. After talking to them, I felt good about there bussiness ethics. We'll see!
Steven, That sounds Fair to me and thats a great Idea!!!! What else were we going to do with those W parts. Funny, That he's warning us about people like him self!! Nice Of Him!! He Probaly is doing the same thing on every other car forum he can get on and sadly some people will fall for this "to good to be true" deal bull **** !!!! You can only hope people like this will get theres!!!! Do you really want to hear how I feel !!!! LOL

 

Thanks again Tom and Tony for info. on carbjunkies, I received my carb. the end of october witch was what they said about 3 week wait. They where great to deal with, honest and resonable.I paid $600.00 for carb and rebuild, witch I think is a good price compared to what I was seeing. The carb looks like new and runs perfectly with minimual adjustment!! I included a few pictures of it installed. The company is a family owened busness by Jim And Melissa. After talking to Melissa I told her I was going to post a update on my carb and her company on our site. She said thanks and if any one else needed a carb, That if they mentioned my name she would give them free shipping or some kind of discount, What ever she could due. Hopefuly that can help some one. So thanks again to all that responded and helped me. PS I,m still waiting on the SS1 wheels I ordered from McWheels in Iowa, I will post pics. when I get them. Michael
