Thanks John. The 0 code shows that it's a Chevy carb. I've never heard of any one Q-jet being used on Chevy, Buick, Olds and Pontiac. It's also clearly a 1976 carb (being a 17056). The engine is out of a 1976 Corvette. Your book is probably showing all the vehicles it can physically fit rather than what it actually came from. I had a Buick 455 carb on my Olds 455 and the parts store said it was the correct number for that car. What they meant was that it would physically work, and it did. It was not the OEM number though. I think that's what you're seeing. No disrespect but the model number clearly indicates that it is a 1976 Chevy carb. I'm just guessing that since the carb is the correct year for the block it might be original to that engine.

Also shows to be used on some BOP's in 77. Not shown as Corvette anywhere I can find in my books. Been doing carb work for 42 years so have a few books to search. If I find anything that says Corvette will let you know. If is only truck will be jetted fairly rich and metering piston will be raised a little higher in channel. Air bleeds etc. allow for richer mixture at lower speeds. Runs on idle circuit until about 40 - 45 mph. Should be about 750 cfm. Hope this helps. John
