hey guys,

last weekend the PO brought some of the additional parts that came with my '66 pickup...i got the original 283, extra Powerpack heads, & a Rochester Quadrajet...from running the numbers i have concluded that it's a 1985 model (#17085227) Quadrajet...how would i figure CFM?

also, i currently have no use for this since my truck has a relatively new Edelbrock 600 carb...but i could possibly use it in the future when i rebuild the 283...i was thinking of putting the 283 in a '66 Burb....but is it worth it to keep the Rochester, or should i get rid of it (opinions, please)?

thanks for any info/suggestions
