This little book I have here says 7040500, same as the Chevelle 360HP 454 with automatic transmission.

 

Of course, any of these little books could be wrong.....

 

BUT I did find some instances of the number here that may confirm it:

I know those built for CA (since emissions CA only in 70) were 7040200 and all others throughout country were the 7040500 as listed above.

 

Specialized investments (used to be TX I belive moved to FL)has a few of the 7040200 carbs. He had a friend who closed his carb shop in CA and he bought what inventory he had left. Nice guy. If you need help with number I have it here somewhere.

my carb already had the repair oversize inlet on it . i would guess a good rebuilt quadrajet is going to set me back about 350.00-400.00. gene
