Default Re: Carb Identification

Good Question!

Go to the NHRA web-site, click on the "Competition" button , and look for "Engine Blueprint Specifications". The 1975 Chevrolet 350 factory rated at 165 HP uses a Rochester 4-barrel #7045206 with the automatic, (the number should be stamped into the side of the carb vertically) although any Q-jet with dimensions of 1375x2250/1218xAir Valve can be substituted. I'm not really sure how you identify who modified the carburetor, but there may be a tag or other indication somewhere.


Good luck with the build!

Lew
