That should be reasonably easy to find. I might have one, but I won't be back in town for about a week. Start here in the "parts wanted" section and keep an eye on the on-line auctions---they (the carbs) are usually for sale at realistic prices.

I would call Danny Sarvis (70Wcars), I'll pm you his phone number. He would be able to find one and build it specific to your engine.

Yes, he's in San Antonio. Your best bet is to call or text him. He is on the site regularly but will respond much quicker via telephone. Hope you find what you're looking for!

=====================================
You left out 7042251, the usual big block 1972 carb, AT big cars mainly.

The widely spread "odd is MT, even is AT" thing does not apply to Oldsmobiles, generally.

The '252 will be a Toro carb- throttle linkage may differ, perhaps no kickdown cable provision, since all were TH425 transes.

I can get a 7042252 for sure, probably any of the other common numbers like '250, '251 also. All are rebuilt but not necessarily re-colored and replated everything, and are $300 delivered in the USA 48 states. No core required.

Typical example:
1111_Generic-Rblt-Carb-Med-Color_A0.jpg

Specific photos before shipping but after I get a deposit.

Thanks fro the reply,I didn't realize that Oldsmobile used different codes ,I got the info from Cliff's High Performance Carbs ,the info looked pretty straight forward ,I have contacted another fellow on here too ,so i want to see what he has to say before I make any decisions .
