The number is vertically stamped on the back of the drivers side of the carburetor - http://www.teufert.net/carbs/buick.htm Decode almost any quadrajet - http://www.atlantabuick.com/Specs.htm#QuadraJet ID Chart
7041242 I have a stage 1 q-jet! what dos the 18 18 stand fore,these #s are just below the 7041242 #?:grin:
You are almost there 1818 would mean the carb was manufactured on the 181 day in the 1978 calender year. You have a Stage 1 over the counter replacement carb. If it was made and installed at the factory, the last number would be either a "0" (for early 71 model) or "1" for late model 71. There would also be a two letter code that followed the 7041242. The two leter code changed each year and would have a "MD". The carb was supplied with the 71 Stage 1 specs. Dan:Smarty:
Need QuadraJet 7041242 Hello, o No: I am looking to buy a QuadraJet #7041242 for a 1971 455 Stage 1 engine. Thanks George
Needed your reply to find out the date on the first couple of posts :sleep: Should have been alarmed by "atlantabuick" in the link..... :TU:
If you are looking to buy a correct Stage-1 Carb try www.blake.com/oemcarbs/ They are expensive but you are not going to find a correct number Stage-1 carb cheap.
Should have been alarmed by "atlantabuick" in the link.... AtlantaBuick was back up, operational and upgraded within the last 6 months. it seems like it comes and goes somewhat infrequently. i know it's been 'up' at least two different times since i registered here.

Cliff the 71 Stage-1 7041242 goes for a bit less than the 70 Stage-1 carb. Maybe about $400-500. What is the date code on it? I have a 7041242 that was NOS (1974 build)and is little used if you would consider somekind of partial trade?
