Below is a picture from the aforementioned 1979 Chrysler 300 Handbook.

I'll look through my other collected info to find out more info on the Carter TQ carb that came on these E58 cars. I have the original TQ from my '79 300 boxed up and in my garage. I'll look for it this weekend and cross-reference the numbers to known TQ carb info.

I'll post to this thread with an update.

I'll send Dale the info for his records.
