Hi guys, I have a 71 trans am 455HO 4 speed when i got the car it had a 1270 carb on it, i know this is the auto carb, what is the number that is correct for this thing, 1267 or the 1273 ?? thank you in advance

7041267.

However, what is the build date of your car and what is the date code of the 270 carb? I have heard that late in the model year as certain carb #s got used up, if they didn't have a 267 sitting there they may have used a functionally similar carb 268, 270, 273. Never say never!

If you'd like to sell that 1270, let me know. My auto could use one...

And be aware there are a few of us looking for the 267 carbs for our original 4-speeds also.

I have a dated 1270 and also a dated 1273 but no 1267 at this time. I will be looking also, if anybody has one and needs one i have let me know. the 1273 has to be just as hard if not harder to find.

Without question the 7041267 is the correct carb for a 49 state 1971 4 speed T/A. I have owned and seen a number of low mile original 4 speed 71's and all of them had the 267. I will not tell you that NO 71 4 speed T/A's ever left the factory with a 273 because I have seen one or two with them. Pontiac used what they had if they ran out of the correct carbs. I have seen manual transmission carbs on original untouched automatic cars and vise versa. However, it is not correct. Bottom line is the 267 is correct.
