You just made me super hungry Mike! Beth and I love visiting Chicago. It will be 2017 before our big industry convention returns there, but after seeing that picture, we may need to hop in the new Stingray and ride up there next summer for a visit - maybe help you exercise your herd?

Thanks everyone. We had a blast and really enjoyed seeing great friends and enjoying the show and surroundings. If it had not been for the trailer flat on the way up we would not have had the chance to get into town for the flat repair and enjoy one of Judge273's Chicago food group suggestions:

You can almost put them on in any position. When they were installed, I'm sure the person was just installing them, not really paying attention to level.

More to the story! While this car is indeed a 72 survivor, it has a replacement carburetor, it was a correct 7042270 but it had a 1975 date code (0645). Well the original owner had an estate sale (about a year ago), he was a car guy and had lots of cars and parts, I always suspected he had the original carb somewhere in the back of one of his shops. Well good news is I was able to find the original carb from the 72 TA, I couldn’t believe it when I saw the part number on the carb, it was in a gm carb box but for some the model. The estate sale was an auction so I had to pay a bit more than I hoped, but it’s worth it!! Super rare carb. It is a 7042270 with date code 2451 (Sept 1 1971), from my research it’s extremely hard to find that 72 carb with a 71 date code.

Score!
Wow, lucky you were able to purchase the original carb from the car. Does Greg still own the car now?
Fortunately, my two 72 T/A's both have their original carbs. These rare Quadrajets are going for stupid money these days! Last edited by 4birds; 01-01-2025 at 11:14 AM. |
