I can't see the 1st number of the date code, and I don't see a plant or pick code, so it might be a SR carb....The complete date code and a few more photos might be helpful in determining authenticity. The value is partly determined by if it's a production line carb or a SR.

Let's go past the stampings and look at the pad. Definitely fake.

I see what you're saying ... looks like the whole pad was milled down about 60 thousandths.

Obvious fake. Wonder what kind of damage the bowl section sustained when it was clamped in a vise and had the part number pad milled down?

Agree after taking a second look (and consulting with Maury Povich).

7040273: $2K to $5K range. Not sure if they actually sell for that
7040270: $1K to $4K range. Not sure if the 7040270 was offered as a service replacement. You'll see 7029270 SRs in the $500 to $2K range There are more fake -270 and -273 carbs than real ones produced by GM. Year One used to sell restamped carbs. The carb in question may be one of the Year One restamps. |

PY also used to sell restamped carbs in late 80's early 90's .
A satellite supplier furnished them to PY for resale. Supposedly they were matched internally for the application. But I don't think this is one from the PY source - those were not recolored. And they only had the 7 digit ID stamp |

A friend bought a 7040270 RA carb from them (PY) , knowing it was a stamped unit.
What he didn't expect was for it to be a Carter core. Sort of defeated his intentions - but he used it anyway and it worked great. |
