Steve,
With respect, does it really matter? Just get a good running Q-Jet for your car. Who gives a d*** what number is on the carb on a 1974 Corvette? Sure I have one but it does not run well. So it sits as a numbers-matching trophy of sorts in the basement. Looks pretty down there. Just get a decent Q-Jet that works.

Hi Paul! I get the logic and understand your view. The issue is that either way, I have to find a correct carb (proper choke and throttle linkage, vacuum port set-up). Since I had to do the exercise regardless, I thought that I would put a little additional effort in and find the correct carb and rebuild it. Everything on the car including the interior is original and the only incorrect item is the carb which was bastardized from a Olds…Besides it's winter
