I've got a complete 7029268 (on my formula atm) as well as a couple different '70 carbs;
7040263, 7040262, 7040264 (incomplete). I realize that putting some of this info out there will make the fakes harder to distinguish, but it's gotten to the point that it really might be benifital for the whole hobby if the casting numbers ect were put out there, as I'm guessing most of hte fakes are based off of core '70 carbs, or a hodge-podge of 68-71 bases, 69-72 center sections, and chevy/pontiac top plates...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
