Default 78 Engine Suffix & Carb broadcast Codes

I'm surveying 78 engine suffix codes (CHW) and their corresponding Q jet broadcast code (BHS).

These codes are found on the driver's side rear of the carb and will be stamped vertically (up and down). If you've have got a 78 and can contribute, I would appreciate it. here's what I'm looking for (and here's what I have):

Code / GM Part # / Engine / Power team

BHS 17058203 CHW 350/185 M21
? 17058502 CLR 350/175 M38
BJT 17058504 CLR 350/175 M38
? 17058582 CLS 350/175 M38
? 17058584 CLS 350/175 M38
? 17058202 CLM 350/185 M38
BHT 17058204 CUT 350/185 M38
? 17058206
BHZ 17058211 CMR 350/220 M21
? 17058210 CMS 350/220 M38
BJM 17058228 CMS 350/220 M38


My apology if the CF formatting messes this table up. If you have something different...go ahead and list it.

I might add that high altitude and California emission codes are the more challenging to find due to fewer units produced.

I've got the same package...its the cross reference that is missing. Note not a single carb broadcast code is in the resto packet.
