Exclamation 273 restamp on eBay

Item number 180336994890



It's fairly obvious, but I felt his recent history told far more than the picture...
Check out his recent purchase: 11035844791



The earlier auction stated that it was a restamp, the 3 is different now?? Does this mean he has two restamped carbs??

That is NOT the same carb! Obviously a restamp because it is an auto main body. I would guess he bought the colored carb to replace his non-colored carb. He should be listing this as a restamp, like the seller of the carb he bought did.

They are different carbs, I would bet he bought the restamp to put on the car for when it was sold - quick way to make an extra 2k on the deal. Other than the vacume port, what makes you think it's a stamp job?

I would stay away, far away, from both of these carbs.
The first one was a 1970-71 Buick 350 unit and the second one is a "frankencarb" put together with mismatching parts, at least the throttle plate is from a Buick unit.

I didn't look any farther than the vacume port...
