 According to my manual, it came on the '71 Buick Stage I 455cid engine. Definitely a hard carburetor to find. ;)

 And it's definitely the 800cfm version. May try searching for a classic Buick forum and see if someone needs it. Might just get lucky! :)

The 7041240 is not the hard to find unit, they are 7041242.  Still an excellent carb, large cfm, divorced choke, etc......Cliff
