I can't see the front of the carb so don't know if it's for the auto or manual transmission?
It's most likely been commercially remanufactured at some point, as there is a plug in the airhorn for the front vent.
The Hot Idle Compensator was used on all 1967 Pontiac carburetors, it was there to open up when things got hot enough under the hood to allow some additional air to the engine......Cliff

Didn't think much of that plug for the vent, until you mentioned it. Yes, probably just a reman carb, James. It is up to you with what you would like to do with it. Take care bud! Ethan

Worth getting it cleaned up? Ill post a pic of the front.
I'd send it to you Ethan to get it all cleaned up for me. PM your info.
Ethan1:
PM sent, James.

I just think someone changed the top over the years. JMHO. The correct top should be #7033604 and base #7033616 for Qjet 7027262. That is what I think it is. Just my opinion though. Cliff is the expert. You may end up putting a lot money into a dud, but then again, not so much. That body is what has me reeling. Why would someone take the tag off a reman unit, when they can do that to any other unit? At least this one would have been original.
Cliff Ruggles:
Most likely the carb was commercially "remanufactured" at some point. The plug in the airhorn vent hole is a tell-tale sign of this.
Without the correct tag it's going to be difficult to know what it was originally. If it has the vacuum fitting for the auto transmission modulator then it was originally an automatic carb. Even with that said the companies the remanufactured those often installed that vacuum fitting to make them "universal".
All 1967 Pontiac carburetors had the HIC from what I've seen here, so that isn't really an indicator of anything.....Cliff
