In general, measue the primary throttle bore size. Theres 2 sizes. 1-1/2 for the 850 cfm and 1-3/8 for the 800 cfm. This is where the difference is in cfm rating.
The number is the best thing to have for more than just cfm sizing.

7demon2,

The number on the TQ looks like this:

9388S
55 3

Thanks
i have numbers that go as far as 1974. i don't see your number in there. iwill guess it is a lean burn model w/ a wire and plug coming out of it. if it is a lean burn then it is probably a smaller model 800 cfm. sorry i can't be more specific on it.
 
Here is the carb, it was on my car when I bought it with a stock cast iron intake, I wonder if it was a 318 4 bbl engine they swapped in or if they put a 360 intake and carb on a 2 bbl engine.
