Default 69 Carb

So over 20 years ago I bought a rebuilt carburetor from Performance Years when they were selling them for my 69 GTO 4 speed conv. Baltimore built in 1968, week 11D. It has the correct number on it, 7029263 but has no letter or date code on it. Is this normal? What would be the correct letter and date code for this carburetor? Thanks, Marc.

Wow, I thought someone would know this one. I guess I will have to get this one rebuilt. I can't get this one to run anymore. I think there is something wrong with the float. Off to the carburetor shop.

So I finally get a chance to drop of my carburetor at the shop. He takes one look at it and says this is a restamp. I tell him that I bought it from Performance Years over 20 years ago and he says that's why I stopped dealing with them. I am originally from Brooklyn, New York but I was kind of shocked when he said this. I have to go find the PY book that I have somwhere because I don't remember them saying they were restamps. Does anyone have any information on this?

Early to mid 90's, PY was offering the above Qjets, id have to dig out an old catalogue. Believe around the same time, the country's largest Olds repro parts supplier were offering restamps from same Carburetor rebuilder. As a non RA application Qjet, can't see a big problem with running one of them on anything short of a Concours restoration. By the rebuilder taking, say a common Rochester 7029262 or 7040262 & turning it into a 7029268 or 7029263, it's basically a wash value wise. For a driver type deal, if the restamp 7029263's coloring is really nice & runs well, most likely you're ahead of buying say a core barrel Carter version, or an original Rochestor version that's been through a mass rebuilder & had a vac modulator port added as well as a DSTV port added to the throttle body so it could be run on a '68.
