    Do you still have this carb? Is the build date the 107th day of 1970 (like April 17, 1970)

    There seems to be something wrong with the top of this carb. The part # is suppose to be for a 70 455 engine, but the non angled vent tube looks to be for a 350 carb. I thought all Buick 455 carbs had the angled vent tubes.

    Thanks for noticing this. Not what I am looking for. Need correct 7040240 with 02 - 05 build date dates.
