OPH,
Recognized my carb right away (7041267) Had to dig it out of the box to see if someone had done me in. I bought mine from the guy in TX that advertises in HMN. It has been rebuilt, according to the person who sold it to me and agreed to buy it back if it was wrong. I just looked in the '71 assembly manual and this carb is only for the non RA HO engine. Yes mine has the XB and date on it.
The person about whom you spoke who was able to buy the QJ's is probably the same person who sold me mine as he mentioned that he had come across and was able to purchase the whole batch. By the way, when I mentioned my number to him he told me what it was for without hesitation. He only had one and I grabbed it up. Probably paid too much for it and at the time didn't know you. However, with the guarentee of the buyback and his reputation I bought it.
Is the heat conpensator you mentioned the two slots in the secondary butterfly's?
Is the letters on the 7041273 correct. Wrong code. Should it not be VH. The codes I am getting is out of the assembly manual. However I have known them to be wrong. I have a couple of things that are missing on my car based on the manual. However, pictures of the car new indicate, that the assembly plant (Van Nuys,CA) didn't do it the way they were supposed to. Could have been a friday or monday or something else. Anyhow, just my .02 worth.
