Carb Number and Date Code -- 1971?

Looking at a 7041242 Carb with a 2007 date code -- but I don't know what the date code means. What is it, a service replacement for a 1971 stage 1? Or an original?

Think it's a service replacement, date looks like 200th day of '77. Not 100% sure, maybe someone else can verify this.

 

Korrie is right

A service replacement carb was purchased from GM parts warehouse, usually several years after the model year. Factory installed carbs also have a 2 letter code following the ID#.:bglasses:

 

Is it a strage one carb? I aint no expert, but I've seen two different numbers online.

7041242 is a 1971 Stage 1 carb, auto or manual, according to my parts book.
