I am new to the forum and i am currently slowly restoring a trans am...it will have a 403 in it and the motor previously had a holley on it and it was ok but i would like my shaker to work as it should, so i traded it for a Q-jet part number 17057553 which is supposed to be a 800cfm carb is this correct ??
i bought it with the seller saying the only thing "wrong" with the carb is the choke was unhooked, can anybody tell me which choke parts its missing, i think there is a rod that goes from the choke shaft to something that was bolted on the side of the carb thats missing

other than the choke it appears to be a good looking carb, but i believe i'm going to have to modify it for my motor..Cliff i bought your book yesterday and it has tons of great info, its making me feel better about rebuilding this carb !! here are some pics below
