Stumbled onto this on eBay
This is a hard to find carb number and a good price IMO.
If I had a need for it, I would have already bought it.

Gold and silver paint. Ugh! Hope it performs better than it looks.

Hokey appearance aside, $185 is not bad money even for a core needing a rebuild on this hard-to-find carb. Nate is right, someone should be all over this one. Too bad they didn't show a picture of the date code.

True but could be a restamp too without seeing the PN stamp. No close up pic of the PN.
