It really doesn't matter, you won't know the difference between the two. If you look on the carb I believe on the opposite side (not sure) to the choke there is a number printed vertically on a tab that starts either 70xxxxx (pre '75) or 170xxxxx (post '75) the first and second x's denote the year it was made... 4x = 1970-1975, 5x = 1976-1979, 8x = 1980-87.
The general decoding scheme can be found here: http://www.oldengine.org/unfaq/leadfoot/qjet1.htm
You may be able to find what engine it was on by typing the carb ID number into a web search engine such as Altavista.
