Which carb should this car have? I thought the 71 HOs with 4-speed all had the 7041273 carb which didn't have the booster rings on the primaries. It's hard to make out the number on the carb in the photo but it looks like 7041267...?

the 7041267 was the HO carb for non ram air manual shifts.the auto non ram air was 4071268.this carb had the same booster rings as the 273-270 carbs.alot of guys years ago bought the wrong carb for their car because people told them the 267 and 268's were wrong for their TA's.(i was one of them).

used on trans am's,formulas and lemans HO's without ramair.

WARBIRD is correct. The Ram Air cars,which would be GTO's recieved the 7041270/273 and the non-RamAir cars,which is all Trans Ams, recieved the 7041267/268.'267's being the manual and '268's being the automatic.Yes, there has been a bit of confusion over this numbering of HO carbs.. Many ,many guys with Trans Ams went out and bought '270/273's thinking the same numbering system carried over from 1970, which it didn't..


As far as teh Formula on Ebay.. I am naturaLLY suspicious and am so with this car. '73 radiator support just doesn't make sense. Looks liek a nice car, but I am not sure I buy the "survivor" status that teh owner is so proud of.. Could be wrong, have been before, will be again...but just doesn't look like a true survivor to me.. looks like it has been in a number of shops over the years.which isn't bad, not at all.. just the owner is advertising it as such a "survivor" and apparently wanting large money for it.. just don't know.....
