Title: 17081586 Quadrajet
Post by: Haagdakta on January 09, 2017, 05:44:52 PM

Would a 17081586 be a good starting point for my 283?

Not familiar with that carburetor number?

Looks like the 1 would denote 1981. The 5 would indicate California carb. The 8 could be Checker Cab, perhaps. What are the challenges involved with tuning a California emissions carb, or should I look for something else?

Looks like the 8 could also be "marine"

 That would be a remanufactured unit. I don't think I would use it, if I were you.
