    Well, I have one and was planning on using it on one of my '70s...but let's see if anyone else has one before I make a decision to part with it.

    Thanks, I think I have a 70 stage1 carburetor if you need one. I will check with John Csordas.

    Just asked John. Sorry, but he thinks/pretty sure it is just a big block 1970 Carb not a Stage1. Maybe you will decide to use the '71 you have? If you do decide to sell the '73 Carb I would love a chance to buy it.
    Thanks!!

    Buick nationals 2021 I had some of my 73 parts stash for sale. I wasn’t racing because I bent a pushrod on the way from Nashville and arrived too late Friday to qualify. I did stroll into the circle and talked with Phil briefly about his car. I mentioned I had some rare 73 parts for sale at my friends booth, Phil said he would stop by for a look but never did. I had a nice 7043242 carb that day and ended up selling it to John Chamberlain for a meager 400. Hindsight’s always 20/20. I’ll see you in the middle this year, I’m running gsr with my 73, 11.8 to qualify.

    I had a 73 stage-1 engine and trans. I sold the engine but kept the dist, carb and BB trans. I cannot remember if I sold the carb or not. I will not be able to check until probably June.

    It took several years until a set came up on ebay I bought for my my car. I paid 375 for those 5 or 6 years ago. I haven’t seen another set since. They do sell an aftermarket plastic set

    Yea, don’t want plastic.

    If you come across the StageI distributor and trans, I'm interested in them? Thanks, Larry.

    I know I have the BB trans but some parts are missing, not sure what all.
