Woohoo! Sounds like the consensus is that this is the real deal (and a good deal!) I didn't even have to sleep in the garage! (God I love that woman).
I still need to see the real thing in person, and I'm still waiting for the seller, but I'm getting psyched now. Thanks for the advice on Cliff Ruggles. Custom Rebuilt Carburetors did my 7028276 for me, for about that price, and I was happy with it. However, with a carb this rare, I don't want to take any chances, so I'll try Ruggles.
When I joined this forum two and a half years ago, I was looking for 3 major pieces to get my car back to PHS originality; A console, an 8 Track, and a 7028271...
THAT'S IT!!! THAT'S THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE!! I'M DONE!!! I'M THERE BABY!!!! WOOOOOOOOO! MAESTRO, MUSIC PLEASE!! BARTENDER- DRINKS FOR EVERYONE!!!!! PAHHHRTEEEE!!!
