According to Lars's paper, it should be the following...

17056(A)(B)(Even)

A=2 for standard emissions, or 5 for CA or high elevation
B=0,1, or 2 for Chevy
Even=Even numbers are for auto, odds for manual

17057204 was used on several Chevy cars in '77, including Chevelle, Monte Carlo, Nova and Corvette. It was used on auto trans cars with air conditioning.

I have it sitting around was an extra part from a car I sold. Guy I got it from said it works, even has an old reman sticker on it, and it's pretty clean, make an offer I guess.

The auto trans carbs typically have a vacuum port nipple for the tranny modulator, and the throttle arm is often different to accommodate kickdown linkage (TH350). On some of the early Q-Jets, the manual tranny carbs were jetted just a touch richer, but after 1973-or-so the MT and AT carbs are jetted the same.

Any harm in puting an auto carb on a manual car? Would you just have to plug that nipple?
