Carb Stamping - 1968 Q-Jet
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've been looking for a Q-Jet for my sons 1968 L79 Vette. Yes, the one year only one application carb. Found one, but I'm pretty sure it's a restamp. Opinions are appreciated

Generally, if it's too good to be true it is.

Thanks,

Blair

Sure looks like a re-stamp to me too. Compare it to my original stamped carb. Yours looks way too deep and crisp. I'm by no means a pro when it comes to that though.

Definitely a restamp.

That's what I thought. I'll keep looking. Don't need it right now, but would like to have one on the shelf.

Thanks for the input guys!
