The Zenith 0-4-1" is correct for the early 490's , and then the later 490's used a Zenith T-4-1". The others are after market replacement carburetors for updraft applictions.

It was only Zenith used originally to the 490. If you need one I have a (as far as I know) good working Zenith for sale.

The price can be discussed. chevy
