17082222, good candidate ?

(1/1)

Frank400:
As the title says, just picked this carb up.  I'd like to build this carb to go on a 1968 stock 327 that is currently 2bbl.  Is this a good candidate ?  It's got electric choke and what seems to be APT.  This would be my third Q-Jet build since I've read Cliff's book.  The previous two have been succesful to say the least.  I haven't measured anything yet as I won't be able to work on this thing until a few weeks.  This will go on the 327 along with a factory iron 4bbl manifold.

 To me, I think this would be a good carb for your application. Let see what Cliff says.

 According to my manual, it came from an '82 Chevrolet and GMC Trucks 305cid w/o A/C Non-California A/T.

I just noticed that the secondary air flap is dampened by the REAR pull-off and no link from front pull-off to flap...that is a bummer.  A quick look at the top primary side shows what seems to be no air bleeds...could those be the single air bleed carbs ?  not sure anymore if it's a good candidate.

 Might not, if it has single air bleed.
