I dont have the number, I have purchased pass rebuild kits from Napa. They carry the Echlin brand of rebuild kits, you could ask Lars for the part number of the kit. Your area Napa dealer should be able to look up the part number in the Echlin book, be sure to have your carburator serial number with you.

You need the carb number for the kit number.

Thanks, carb# is 17059228. Worth putting something different on?? Just had original motor redone 350 that now makes 325hp. Don't have cam card yet but will in couple of days.

The Q jet is a very good carb and should be fine for your application. Lars could provide you with more info on this, I agree with him that the Q jet is a well made carb.

Got it, Hygrade kit#1517 and Hygrade float#FL8. Cam for motor is a Comp Cam# 12-242-2.Seems like it will be a nice all round cam.
