    Yes.

    Stage 1 auto and 4-speed Q-Jets are 7040246.

    Post some info/pics of your car when you get a chance. It's nice to see another of the 664 still alive.

    its a gsx, there is a thread on it on the ebay section. first time i ever purchased a car without having checking it out in person. just was no time to do, so i took a chance. its in the registry! hopefully have it home in about a week or so.

    Congratulations I guess it's the one without the rocker molding I thought It still had the original distributor and carburetor.

    yes no rocker moldings, seller is not a numbers guy nor was he interested in trying to get a picture lol. so i am thinking its not the correct carb?

    If you strike out on a numbers correct one for 1970 I have a beauty Stage 1 correct 800 cfm for 1972 if interested, at least you would have a real Stage 1 carb.

    Congrats on the car! You'll find folks on here very helpful. Let us know (good, bad, ugly) how it checks out. Obviously there was some discussion on here on your car.

    While 0150 may seem early, they only made those carbs in batches and the build dates are all known. The correct distributor (9L4) is even earlier. Those are the two difficult (read expensive) parts to get and there are restamps out there so be careful.

    agreed on the re stamps, those guys are getting slicker every year. did a concours resto on a 70 442 pace car {see avatar} and learned alot about re stamps and all the rest of the crooked stuff! my plan is to slowly make this car right without over restoring it. so i can enjoy driving it. gonna need lots of info along the way.
