Of the swap from the 744 cam to the 068 cam in the III engine
(Customer complaints to GM re cold start problems) but yes that happened.
And the carbs have a different number on the body BUT
Have Very little functionally different and the 7028273 carb has been found on
Some WT coded 4 speed non ram air cars. The heads were 48s on both
Engines at that time that the two cars were built in late '68 I assure you.
</div></div>Just for the record the Ram air cars had 48 heads which is correct but had a slightly stiffer spring setup for the 068 cam and had a different distributor,better flowing ram air exhaust manifolds and the carb was jetted differently to give you the boost in horsepower. Personally I've never come across a WT motor to ever have a 273 carb but never say never with a pontiac.
