[b-man]

Rather than purchasing that particular PP reproduction of a Ram Air carb I’d contact one of the carburetor experts that frequent the forum. I would suggest Jeff (shaker455) who is one of the best carburetor guys, I’ve read nothing but rave reviews about his work.

I’d bet he could (using the most correct core) duplicate the features and calibration of the 7040273, whether or not you care about having the correct number stamped on it.

The place where it gets sticky is restamping the carb body, which some here would consider to be fraud. With the Ram Air setup in place I’d guess the numbers are difficult to see anyway.

I like the idea of having a small business operator working on my carb who is detail oriented and actually cares about the final product and stands behind his work, rather than dealing with a big parts house with too much going on to provide the very best in carburetor rebuilds and restorations.
