Default help IDing Q-jet

ive got 5 carbs down here in my basement, and all i can tell is that there Qjets.

is there anyway to tell what what car/motor they came from?

ive pulled the numbers off of one of them 7042211 qf 0812, but from doing some googleing, it looks like this is just manufactureing specs (what year, 2bbl/4bbl, chevy/buick/etc, plant code, date manf.)


is there some way to tell what these came off of?

i may have found it, if im correct 7042211 would be for a CHEV 72 350 TRUCK SERIES 10 FED M/T, yes?

yes, the number 2 = 1972 7042211

and the odd number at the end means manual trans. You can tell that without peeking,

yup, found that site and another one when i did some more searching. was able to ID all 6 of the qjets in about 10 mins. the one for my vette didnt turn up in the box like i was hopeing for.

i just hope my dad made a mistake and left the carb on the vette and didnt swap it out like he thought he did.
