that appears to be a 68 marine carburetor for a 283 engine. Toss it and get you a good Buick carb.

Hey guys,
It looks like the carb on my car was rebuilt & might be from a later year. Can you guys shed some light on this one for me & help me figure out where this thing came from. The #'s stamped on it are 07028280 it also has the #'s 3262 stamped below that. I also am posting a pic below.
-What year carb is this? I think it might be a "68
-What is the CFM?
-Is it even a Buick Carb? The last 2 digits "80" are throwing me off.
-Will I be better off getting an original "67 GS carb or an Buick 800 CFM carb
Any help would be great.
Thanks,

Wait!!! Did you say "marine" carb as in it belongs in a boat? What the heck!!!!! Why would someone do that? Would the 1973 800cfm carb that I was looking into be a good carb?
Thanks,

Well now that I've figured out that my carburetor is a marine/boat carb I'm on a quest for a new carburetor & since I'm going to spend the money on a new carb I might as well go for the best. Anybody know of someone selling a Rochester Stage 1 carburetor? I'm sure it's a long shot but why not go big?
