everyone in the world is restoring 67 GTO's and gobbling up those quadrajets
plenty of 68/69 GTO's that noone wants to fix up, in comparison

Plus, 67 quadrajets came ONLY on GTO's (I believe)
the big cars got carters and other junk - only the GTO/tempest got the quadrajet
So, if you're looking for a quadrajet, gotta find one that came from a GTO

That's unlike '68 and up pontiacs - where a big car and a GTO sometimes have the same # quadrajet (which means they're pretty common, in comparison)
my bonneville has a 7028263 carb - manual transmission that someone would love to have for a GTO
but a regular auto 1968 7028262 came on grand prix's as well as GTO's

so, weren't many of the 67's made, as compared to the rest

that's why a 7027263 is like $800
and a 7027262 is 400 or more

by the way (just to harass you) i've got one of each
and one's built by cliff!

either way, cliff could take just about any 'ole quadrajet and make it scream - just wouldn't have the correct #'s

also, there's some differences in pontiac/chevy carbs from what i hear
angles of the jets or something - so best to stick with a pontiac one (and would look more correct...as the fuel comes in the front)

you can easily tell a '67 from others - it has this disc on the side
here's a pic of my 7027263 (manual trans - '67)

although they also made some service replacement #'s that look a little different
7037262 i believe and 7037263

but for all you want, just get a 68 - 72 quadrajet core for 100 - 200 and have cliff rebuild it
Going correct #'s will cost you a fortune, and the later ones will probably run better anyways
