Carter (69?) Qjet with no markings

I hope the pictures work...

I have a qjet from a 69 Camaro SS 350 with a 4 speed.  It says mfd by Carter Carburetor for GMC.   There is no stamp or numbers in the "circle" and no vertical numbers. 

ON the bottom in the back on the drivers side is some sideways numbers as follows:
:2877    then at the very corner another 28

There was an illegible, very old sticker in the corner on the back drivers side... I scraped it off thinking maybe there might be something underneath.

anyway.   This is my 1st carb...  and I want to rebuild it and tune it for a 350, AFR 180 heads, 219/227 lunati hyd roller, edelbrock intake... to go with the 4 speed.

any help on what kit to get, etc?

Thanks
Chad

Also.   This carb is a spreadbore.   I see on ebaymotors.com quite a few early-mid 70s qjet for sale at $70 or less and some are square bore.  Perhaps its a good idea to get one of these, rebuild, and run on an RPM air-gap intake.

Hi Chad. 
All quadrajets are spreadbore.
It looks like you have a 1967 Quadrajet that has been mangled by one of the big reman shops.
You would probably be better off with a later quadrajet.  depends on your choke desires and tuning needs.

 I agree. Look for a later Qjet (mid-to-late '70s) and modify it for your specific application. Those earlier carbs are, lets just say a POS, when it comes to modifying. It will save you headaches in the long run as well. ;)

Tag is missing, and it's been commercially "remanufactured" for sure.....Cliff
