I've been researching remanufactured carbs. When searching carbs, cannot find a listing for 73 GMC Motorhome so guessing 73 455 olds Toronado or is there something else I should be looking for?

The GMC carburetor is specific to the motorhome and not shared with other vehicles. There are internal differences that make other quadrajet variants unsuitable. What is the number stamped into the left rear of your current carburetor?

Thom,
There is lot of difference between the toro and the MH.
The best rebuilt unit from Springfild Ignition , Dick Patterson as it is
Rebult, not just a Kit dropped in.

If you have correct carb and the body is not distorted from over tightening, I would have Patterson rebuild it.

I discovered I have a Springfield ignition carb on the coach I purchased.
Every once in awhile, I get a happy surprise.
