Info needed for 17059547
oktorque:
I'm sorry if this is a double post.
I recently bought a 17059547. It is an 800 cfm and reminds me of those I have seen oe on 301's, with small rod/jet combos. The 301 QJ's have oe 52 rods with 72 primary jets. This one has 67 jets with 45P rods. It is going on a small ci engine, a ford inline, so I would like a starting point combo.
One major difference between the 301 carb and this one is that the air bleeds in the air horn are very small, where those in the 301 are much larger. Also, the bleeds beside the booster have restrictions in them. I'll have to buy some micro bits so I can measure the bleeds and pass along the info.
I welcome any knowledge about what engine this came on oe, and about recommended jet/rod combos.
Thank you.

This is the expert forum, so I thought I may get lucky and find someone to identify this carb's oem engine.
I was hoping to determine which Buick engine this may of been designed for, since in 79 Buick was using four engines: two small v6's, one turbo'ed, an olds 307, and a 350. Because of the jet/rod combo (if it is original), and because of the similarity to the jet/rod combo of the QJ on a 301, I'm guessing it was on a v6. I am, however, perplexed by the small air bleeds in the airhorn and beside the boosters.
I don't know how turbo would effect the set up of a QJ, or whether this is one of those carbs. Thank you all.

Thank you, Ethan. Something tells me you have reference book. Since I'm going to be installing this on a Ford 300 with 250 hp, in a truck, should I set it up original and go from there? or would you use a richer combo on jet and rod?
Thank you.

Do you have Cliff's book? Also, I would contact Cliff and see what he says. He will need all the specs of your truck as well. ;)
