Should be a sticker and/or cast numbers on the side of the main body. Mine shows 1850s, which is 600 cfm vac sec. Looks like that one sticker on the right shows the same.

Can you tell me what's going on here? Isn't that a kickdown cable? I haven't drove the truck much since I got it. I'd have to go drive it to see if it kicks down or not.

That sticker fell apart when I touched it. I tried to look behind it and the numbers had been etched off. I think it says 1850s by looking at the picture.

4160, non adjustable floats, more than likely a 600 or smaller

I think a 600 or smaller was all that was offered with side hung floats and the transfer tube between the bowls.

Re: Can you identify my carb?

Could be a kickdown, could be cruise control. Can't tell from the picture. If it is kickdown, on a th350 that controls line pressure as well as kickdown. Not good to leave it undone as clutches can slip with too little line pressure.

1850s is a 600 cfm just like mine.

Kickdown cable disconnected on a TH350 wont hurt it. It will just shift early. TV cable disconnected on a TH700 will destroy it in short order.
