704--1970-1975 2-- 1972 2 Qjet 4-- Buick 2-- Auto trans --Date code: 307= Nov 3 1- 1971 And it is the Stage 1 carb!!!!!!!!! Congrats! Frank
Yes a Stage 1 carb for sure look at this thread...http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=21050&highlight=carburetor+numbers
Yup that's the correct part number for the 72 Stage 1 Q-Jet..... built the 307th day of 1971....or, Wednesday, November 3rd, 1971....
Jeff, The absolute BEST advice I can give you as far as worth is to list it on eBay. The 2242 Q-Jets don't pop up too often so you might surprise yourself.
Positively--- eBay. You need a nationwide (worldwide?) audience of enthusiasts who are not experts (if you know what I mean) to get top dollar... good luck.
