Not a insult,its a lesson learned I'm pretty sure its a two years bracket only but I'm still learning this stuff. What do they go for ? I was figuring nos would be around 150-200 ? am I low ? any help would be great '

I sold a used survivor piece with patina
(Surface rust) for that much ....with 3 other members here wanting the same part.

I would buy the repo...acid dip off the zinc put it in salt water for a week, then outside in wet or moist dirt..to color it just right.....

Yea but it wont have the correct stamping "Stamp Rite" after acid dipping off the zinc, placing in salt water for a week and then outside in wet or moist dirt

Of course it won't.... its an alternative to him as the cost of an original or NOS may be out of his budget.

If you remember he only wanted to pay around 40 bucks for a used one.

I've seen "many original survivor cars". with aged reproduction pieces.
And a few cars "Restored with 90% repo parts" to look like a 30 year old untouched 'original'
And of course 100% totally concourse restorations
With nothing but reproduction parts....so, what is really 'correct' ????

We live in a world of variety with what each owner or builder interprets as Reality

I parted a few 70 Z's back in the day....I always took the obvious stuff..the sway bar, gas pedal, and all drivetrain goodies..but never knew about this bracket... neat stuff..always learning...anyone have a pic of one mounted on car??

Most guys and service centers took them off and discarded them at the time a carb was serviced, valves were set or even distributor work . They were looked at as a insignificant support bracket.

Modified cars surely had that ugly piece of tin thrown away as it wasn't "cool" with a Chrome Dual Feed fuel line

FWIW the repop is pretty good looking other than the wrong logo stamped on it, I found an original with original fuel line - was just around $600 but it did come with the carb
