Default Q-Jet question?

I need a rebuild kit for my 79 Q-jet but can not find a tag on the carb. How do I order the right rebuild kit?

should be a model number stamped on the body of the carb. an eight digit number. should start 170XXXXX. that is 170 with 5 more digits. you can order the right parts if you have that number

If it's the original carb, you can get one at Advance. If it's not the orig., take the serial no. or the carb with you. I don't believe they put tags on these carbs.
