I do not see any "FRAUD" as you call it being done by the business. It clearly states remanufactured and in no place says its original or 100% identical.
All emblems, mouldings, trim almost every car part that is remanufactured has the wrong style part # or incorrect radius bend, or a number of other inaccurate issues of an original.
I would hardly call them frauds. It's reproduction. It is what it is.
I was looking to get advice such as the following
"Decent reprouction carb, made of quality parts and ran well"
"Stay away, chinese made, not correct cfm for ram air carb and had many issues"
"Incorrect top pleate on carb doesn't look close to original etc"
By your words if any of our cars have repruction parts they are frauds and frankensteins.... or am I taking it wrong?

So it's not a NEW MANUFACTURED one we're talking about.
It is an original 1969-70 Pontiac Quadrajet that has had its application number ground off and then had a high-performance Ram Air number stamped on it instead.
This can hardly be compared to newly manufactured reproduction parts.
I have never understood why people destroy these carburetors as there are many who are looking for an original "regular" Quadrajet. And if you now KNOW that the carburetor does not correspond to the newly stamped number why would you even want it? There is more than a stamped number that separates a standard Qjet from a RamAir Qjet so why even bother cheating the number?
