Rochester 4bbl Carburator for 1968
Short answer: The 7028269 Rochester 4-bbl was used on all 1968 Tempest and Firebird 350, manual-trans, 4-bbl engines. It’s not rare — about 6,442 engines used it (3,784 “WK” Firebird 350 HO + 2,658 “WR” Tempest, manual), plus service-replacement carbs — so don’t get carried away bidding; ~$200 is plenty (a good rebuild can run $300+).
Date codes use the Julian system (3-digit day of year + last digit of year, e.g., “245 8” = 245th day of 1968). Some early 1968 carbs have no date code; others are stamped on the rear edge of the throttle body or, most often, on the bowl near the Rochester assembly number. Best bidding tactic: wait and bid just before the auction ends.
