Another Favor to Ask...

Would anyone who has an 83 L69 H.O. car be willing to look at their carburetor and tell me what the ID number is? Mine was swapped by the dealership about a year after I bought mine new because of the typical fuel percolation problem.

From what I understand, there are some internal differences on the L69 carbs compared to the other carbs. The one that is installed now supposedly came from an 83 Monte Carlo L69, although I can't remember how I came up with that as the ID number doesn't tell me that kind of info. The number is 17083205. It's probably identical to the one that originally came on the car, but it would be nice to know what should be installed for future reference.

Thanks for any help!

Larry

Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
The only differences, from what I understand, were primary jets (not a big deal) and secondary tuning (easy to tune whatever carb you have).

Admittedly I'm at high altitude, but my LG4 carb doesn't have any trouble keeping up with my 350.
