sorry to be "that guy" but its going to be almost impossible to find your original carberetor, the closest you can get is a replica stock 72 carb.

Try the number below. I believe they have one used carb with correct number. Carb would need to be rebulit before using.

I went through the same thing last year for the same car/engine that you have. I finally bought a 1973 numbered Rochester Qjet off that bidding site that shall remain nameless. Most of the 4MV's are the same with minor jetting differences and a solid unit can be rebuilt easily. I ended up paying $50 for a decent carb and put in a rebuild kit and it is just fine. Granted I don't have a true dated numbers carb for the car, but you may never find one, at least for a decent price. Good luck with your search.

Let me look. I may just have what you're looking for.

I also have a 72 base 350. I replaced the Q-jet last summer for an AFB.

I was missing two items for my 72 LT-1...the carb and my A.I.R. system. Found the dated carb on this site (parts) and also through this forum....found the smog....
