Rochester Quadrajet rebuild?
I am putting a new engine and transmission in my truck. I am thinking about rebuilding the carb while doing this. The ID # on the carb is 7045583 which I think indicates it is for a 1975 for Checker or Marine with a manual transmission. If that is correct then this is not the carb that came stock on the truck. The truck is a '77 Chevy K10 with a TH350.
So my questions are, can I rebuild this carb and have it pass CA smog or do I need to get a carb made for my truck? My guess is that all the differences could be made up by installing a rebuild kit for a CA '77 with auto trans but I don't know for sure. Does anyone know if this is correct? Can I just go to Autozone and ask for a rebuild kit for my truck and rebuild the carb and have it end up working just like it was originally from the factory?
