Anyone have a helms manual?

I REALLY need some help finding out the float bowl height on the -87 lg4 engine, so if someone could look it up for me, you would be my hero.

I drove a 800 mile trip to get my car smog/inspected today and then drive it home, but forgot my manuals to do the carb rebuild. My car is an export version, canada edition, don't know if that makes any difference though.

Plase help me with this, I'm running out of time here.

Ok, this is out of my '85 Helm manual... but it's the best I can do. I don't think they would have changed much from '85 to '87. Hope this helps.

Thanks alot, I'm unsure which of those carb numbers to pick as the numbers vary quite a bit. My carbnumber is 17087117, and unfortunaatly it's not listed. If I don't find the excact number for it, I think I will just go with 12/32 or 13/32 as it seems to be in the middle of all the float height numbers.

The measurments I have found vary from 11/32 to 17/32 and currently it's set at 16/32 which made the car stall when braking. Unfortunatly I don't recall what it was before I changed it a year ago.
