I'll post some
Here are a few pics of the Q jet. Like mentioned above, it's the larger 800 cfm model that GM put on the 403's and big blocks. I sent you a PM with price.

Not necessarily. I bought a 76 Cutlass for parts, factory 350 auto. The carb had no drilled provision for a power booster, was in the intake and no kick down stud. Oldsmobile had to kick down on the gas pedal, my 70S was the same. I would have liked to have the original carb off the last 76 Olds 350 I bought. It is all set up for a manual trans, supposedly came out of a Delta 88. I never checked the last 73 350 for manual compatibility, hard to say but probably a lot more 4 spds optioned in 73. His carb will also be 800 CFM.
read what the numbers mean, who knows what mods were made to a 40 year carburetor. There are no indication in the carb number whether for the manual or power brake option

This is the information I have always gone by but there are some weird qjet out there with numbers that seem inaccurate for the app one I found the last few years was a qjet on a dodge 360 with odd number and auto trans all original I bought it just because I thought it was weird and Unique
All of my factory 4 speed Grand Ams had a 1 for the last digit.
All of my autos have/had an even number.
The Grand Am manuals shift cars were all 1979's so the carb would be numbers matching for all 1979 Pontiacs with manual transmissions.
Someone that bought 1 from me said "it needed a new carb". When I asked about the original carb.....he threw it away.
He should have just stuck a $100 bill in it as he threw it out...
the ones on the Chryslers had the carb numbers but they didn't hold the same meaning
(Last digit or two is changed depending on application)
17085407,8,9,11,14,15,16,17,25,31,32,33,34
17087175,6,7
17087245
we should ask Mike what the carb number is on his Hellkitty....

All my 17057241, 17058241s and some 17057253s I have came off auto cars and have a nub for kickdown.
did you buy them new? It's easy to change the base and there has been 40 years to do it.
Re your engine, check out this thread, https://gbodyforum.com/threads/awful-belt-squeal-issue.52712/
Two things to consider here. First is that Rochester was not the only mfgr of the Q-Jet, apparently Carter produced them as well. You can google your carb by its description and get references that don't include the P/N but there are supposedly pictures of parts and gaskets etc to surf.
Another thing is that there ought to be a tin metal tag attached to one of the upper body bolts that had the correct P/N number stamped into it. If your carb underwent a rebuild at one point or another in the past, that tag would have likely been discarded; most of the bulk rebuilders aren't too careful or fussy about keeping the original id indicators included with the carbs they reman.
Finally, don't rely on finding your numbers in a list that might be compiled mostly for Chevvies. Find a reference site that specializes in BOP type G-Bodies and see what they have to say.
