It fit the chevy engines that were used in some BOP during those years.
They really were Cheverolet. Can you send a picture of carb showing linkage
side and top view? John

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.

John that carb number checks out as for 75 -77 Chevy and GMC Truck. 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
