7demon2,

The number on the TQ looks like this:

9388S
55 3

Thanks

In general, measue the primary throttle bore size. Theres 2 sizes. 1-1/2 for the 850 cfm and 1-3/8 for the 800 cfm. This is where the difference is in cfm rating.
The number is the best thing to have for more than just cfm sizing.

i have numbers that go as far as 1974. i don't see your number in there. iwill guess it is a lean burn model w/ a wire and plug coming out of it. if it is a lean burn then it is probably a smaller model 800 cfm. sorry i can't be more specific on it.

well now i just found this: #9388 = 1983 318 AT BV O2 1-3/8 3

Here is the carb, it was on my car when I bought it with a stock cast iron intake, I wonder if it was a 318 4 bbl engine they swapped in or if they put a 360 intake and carb on a 2 bbl engine.
