How about this 72 part, a 4 speed carb: buy it now is $3000:

I am wondering why it has an upper vaccuum nipple on the top rear of the air horn. Anyone ever see this before? My 2071 July 71 dated carb does not have this.

I bought my 7042273 carb from them 3 years ago for $1000. I must admit they did an awesome job refurbishing the carbs. The engine starts with a click of the key. Now if I could only get the body man to do his work.....

I have a nice unmolested original 270 (Nov 71 build) that doesn't have that vaccum nipple,but checked a few other 72 Pontiac(garden variety) carbs and they DO have it.
Perhaps the one on Ebay had the air horn changed out with a later/different one?
(The rebuilders tend to swap out alot of parts)

Doug - that would be an EGR-style pushrod cover. Original fitment would be '73-'79 Pontiac V8 except 301.
