Buyer beware!

FWIW

If a buyer is silly enough to not pay the $150 core charge and goes and sends their original 7040273 in for an exchange. Shame on that person for not doing research and believing a new carb costing 1/10th of the price wouldn't be legit.

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?
