One last question.
You give the 5th number a "2" as in  Quadrajet (4 bbl) Federal standards.
Why wouldn't it be a "5" as in Quadrajet (4 bbl) California standards? If not, when would 5 be used if not in my California car?

 You can't always believe the numbers. For an example, a lot of carbs have the last digit as an even number, but yet, they came on a Manual Transmission car. As well as, whether it was a Federal or California carb. Don't know why they did it that way. :o

jockwalker:
Great information! Thanks again!!

jockwalker:
The 6th number "1" indicating it indicates Chevrolet. Could it also be a "0" or a "2"? I hope that is the end of my curiosity Ethan.

Ethan1:
 Not for your application, Jeff. Some carbs did use a "0" or "2", but not for your case. Don't know why they did it in this format though.
