Maybe the Parts place could give you more info on what they are actually selling.

Since I've haven't personally rebuilt a QJ, I bought a couple decent 7042272's off eBay (my car is an auto) and sent them out to two different rebuilders. The price was comparable to the one you are referencing and I know what I have.

Since your not building an original car, I'd skip the expensive cores for more rare cars and get something that's close.

I bought an extra spare I plan to rebuild myself as well. I want to check that off my bucket list.

Good luck.

You are 100% correct and I will definitely consider buying a different # original pontiac carb. Especially since my car won't be a matching # vehicle and I would rather an electric choke anyhow.

I want to find some more info out about this repro before I make a decision. If it's a quality carb I wouldnt mind giving it a chance.
