    Let me check the number

    I picked up a 455 this week that came out of a 72 riv. The engine was a 73, but it may have the 72 carb you're looking for. I will look at it asap.

    Hi Rich,I have only this number for 1972:2942.Dont jump for joy yet,because
    I know its a california 72 S-1 carb,but here is the bad news;whoever had it before me modified it.On the passenger side they took all the choke and brackets off.Also the primarychoke valve [the flapper]is taken off.I guess
    the person that had it begore me must have used it for racing.If you want to call me here is my #516-822-2214.BrunoD.

    Rich,

    I have a couple pics of the carb Bruno's talking about, the 7042942. Ron Mooney sent them to me a couple years back when I was in the market or a 72 Stage 1 Q-Jet.

    (Bruno, you don't get rid of ANYTHING do you?? :laugh: )

    Anyway, here's the 2 pics I received...
