    DEADMANSCURVE my first word : truck

    I guess this is a good place for this . and not really a crisis - just don't want to guess and end up with incorrect kit .
    got this for nothin' , thought i'd throw a quick kit n rebuild at it , might make someone a nice little carb cheap .
    no tag , no numbers on right side of bowl where I usually see them . number #7008597 under front of bowl ? number #7012977 inside of bowl above float . cast base has some numbers - I think they are #GM 8 5812" - not real clear though . I looked through my hygrade catalog at 6 and small v8 chevy , buick , olds , Pontiac but nothing specific on those numbers . close numbers are late 50's early 60's sbc ? those kits are either #213C or #212D , will have to check pics n info at work .
    hot air assist choke , 1-7/16" throttle bore , some Rochester 2bbl info I have makes it sound like 278 cfm ? monster ! i'll post a couple pics asap .
    edit : here's a few pics . quick throw together , pics , then into the carb clean bucket .
    edit #2 : post bath - no new numbers show up , except 1-3/32" top of venture which confirms my small cfm guess . kit pics look close .
