1976 Chevy Q-jet with front fuel inlet
« on: June 02, 2021, 04:14:04 AM »
Sometimes I swear my cores purchasing guy intentionally seeks out oddballs just to mess with me. This is a P/N 17056212; luckily Cliff's book mentions these, or else I would still be scratching my head....

BTW, this carb had the skinniest primary rods I've ever seen: 32B! You can hardly even see the taper from .032 to .026; they just look like needles....

Those were used on the 454 engines in Suburbans back in the mid-1970's.  They may have used them elsewhere but that's where I remember seeing them.  They have odd calibrations as you are seeing with tiny primary metering rods to put more fuel to the engine at light engine load.......
