    Could someone help me determine the CFM rating of this carb? I've unsuccessfully scoured the internet for the rating.
    This carb came off of a 78 Turbo V6, PN 17058246. I know it's a high altitude carb, but I don't know what differences there are between it and a "normal" carb.

    Thanks,

    Can't really tell from your pic, but if you have the carb in-hand, compare the primary bores to these photos:

    It looks more like the top picture. Cool, an 800 CFM carb.

    Thanks for the link. My search must have been too particular when I tried. On the turbo buick sites there isn't much carb talk going on. I've asked a few question and there wasn't much info to be had, but people where genuinely helpful. There's a lot more traffic here, out of necessity, so I though I'd try my luck. My thanks to the people who have offered and may still offer help.
