Default Chevelle carb

I am in the market for a correct carb for my April built '70 LS5 4 speed. Saw this one advertised. The stamp looks good to me. Just wanting a 2nd opinion before I pull the trigger.

Thanks in advance.

For some reason the stamping doesn't look right... here's a real McCoy https://www.ebay.com/itm/26525813258...RoC_MAQAvD_BwE

I've got a couple 7040205 LS5 carburetors and they look just like that with a weird H. I'll take couple pics for you for a reference.

They all 3 have a deep 5 and a funky H so I think it's legit.

The "H" was my concern.
