 :) The 041 cam arrived last week. Still have not located any in stock vmax Rhoads lifters.. I received some pictures of the 7041273 today. My buddy decided he couldn't sell it, but he offered to "let me borrow it indefinitely."  !!!  Normally don't like to borrow,  but this time I'll be making an exception. Hopefully my pics will load. It's a real beauty. Will

Cool, looks like a "survivor", mostly all there aside the fuel filter housing.  Even some added parts from a mud dauber.

Rare and valuable carb for sure.  They didn't make any 4 speed units as Service Replacement carbs that I've seen, so the production numbers were limited to how many manual transmission 455 HO's they made that year.......

Will B:
Wow I didn't know that there aren't any known SRs! Those dirt daubers were trashing it up on some prime real estate. I already knew the number of HO F body's with manual transmission. When I checked the production numbers on GTOs, I was surprised that there were so few. They say 476 hardtops in an article that I read on Hemmings. I know there are different opinions about which cars got 267 or 273 carbs as well.  Will

Cliff Ruggles:
Rocky Rotella may know the production numbers and where each part number was used.

If you look at posted literature the 7041267 was used on the 455 HO engines with manual transmissions and "non Ram-Air".

The 7041273 was used on 455 HO engines manual transmissions for Firebirds and GTO's WITH Ram Air.

That makes for confusion and some controversy depending on what cars you could order that year with the 455 HO engine and manual transmission and whether or not they had a "Ram Air" option......
