I did Tim.

also say this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/25607399309...Bk9SR8qGppvcYw

Dated 2nd week of Dec 69. But no pictures of the actual carb.

He has two others at the same price, one April, and one May, 054, same date as mine.

I have reached out to him.

This one looks pretty grimy, but it ran perfectly. No hesitation; no flat spots.

Has correct metering plates. 6333 & 4519.

As you can see, this one is dated fourth week of May, 1970, so not original to my Feb 11 car.

I was told by a member here that this is actually a very desirable date code. Same carb was used on 1970 Z/28 with manual trans, and on the Yenko Deuce.

I will probably send it off to Eric and have it restored. Will then ask a ridiculous amount of money for it, and hope to parlay that into purchasing a Dec 69 or Jan 70 carb.

Seems in today's world of correct restoration prices, you could ask a ridiculous price as is for a survivor car, or let the new owner pay to restore it.

Except it really isn't a survivor. The PO didn't do a great job when he had it painted in 1983. Overspray on everything. Besides, I already have the body off.

The carburetor, Lynn, sell it as is to someone with a survivor car that needs that date.

Doh!
I get it.
