Quadrajets
Ive been learning on theses quadrajets for a while now and starting to figure them out . I do have a question though .Is there any way to figure out the letter codes?I have quadrajets with letter codes (nf,asc,ahf,apw,rj,and a 1972 carb with no letter code at all) Is having a build sheet with these letter codes on it the way you figure out a matching numbers carb and what size motor it came on?How else would you determine the exact factory primary and secondary rods jets hangers etc.?

Rods and jets are based on carb number.
Letter codes are a application specific I believe.
In most cases guys with that info will help decode but wont let a list out.
Basicaly to keep the 'restampers' from faking the more rare/high dollar units.

This is where I get confused if I have a carb with the number 17056259-1676 asc for example how would one determine what rods and jets are factory ? And how do I know it’s for a 350 or 455?

There is documentation for carb number applications, with primary jet, primary rod, secondary rod, and secondary hanger numbers. I have all that in a document that I grabbed off the internet many years ago.

I thought there would be but I’ll damned if I can find it still looking though.

1676 is the date of manufacture. 167 is the 167th day of the year(June 15th or 16th. The 6 at the end indicates year
asc is supposed to indicate where the carb was originally assembled. I do not know those breakdowns
The internal parts for jetting will be related to the part number

17056259 is the "part" number, which is application specific(259) is the application, the 5th digit is the year(76) On carbs with 7 digit part numbers, the 4th digit is the year

Ive realized that some online explanations relate to other makes(Chevy), but dont relate to all GM makes

Thank you Harv that is exactly what I was looking for that carb I’m working in now has what you have listed here so I now know that is what it came with and can go from there from a tuning standpoint point . I wish I had that book it would come in handy for these other carbs I got .

it’s interesting that my factory 455 quadrajet only is up one jets size same rods and same secondary hanger not positive about the secondary rods though it has cj’s in it .

Inside, you'll find pages like this. Note that the 10756259 was used on 1976 350s in Cutlass A/C applications with Federal emissions.

while on the subject of these quadrajets ,last night while working on my run stand motor i refired it only to find the carb was severely flooding( 70 olds 350 carb).This carb ran and worked great last year on this motor. I removed the top and found a spider caught up in the seat.i also noticed it had no needle jet retainer wire .I didnt know until after some research some guys omit the retainer wire and just let the needle and seat do its thing! i did have a spare and put one on it .ill see how it goes tonight
