Please help identify these carbs!
Ok,
I how have 2 carbs that I'd like to identify and make some decisions on. Does anyone know what CFM they would be, and or how high (CFM) they could be set up to flow, if I was to use either of them. Here are the numbers:
Rochester Q-Jet # 17085292 (2274 HMJ)
Carter Q-jet # 17059216 (1389 CMA)
Thanks all for any advice you can send my way!

17059216 was used on the 79 L-48 with auto and ac. Don't know what CFM it will flow. I didn't find the other one listed in the black book.

Re: Please help identify these carbs! (Indynut)
Both the carbs are 750 cfm Q-Jets, so you can make either one work fine. 17085292 is a 1985-86 Truck. The 17059216 is a 1979 305/350 carb. The '79 unit is probably cosmetically a closer match for use on a C3. Either carb can be set up to produce very nice performance.

Re: Please help identify these carbs! (lars)
Thanks all!
Lars, as always you are "The Man" with the answers. You are like a father figure to the rest of us (at least me). It's cool to know someone who is so willing to share his knowledge. Heck, I'd be happy knowing what you forgot.
I've read many of your "How-To" texts, and I must say they are very easy to follow along. It really prevents alot of problems to read up on any of these servicing issues. Keep up the GREAT work!
