253/308 carbs and aircleaner Q's

[adam perth]

the question is directed at petrol heads, so the answer is Quaddy, no argument.

if you ask a matching numbers guru who has never done a burnout in his life, 2barrl strommy.

i would run the quaddy but run a original HJ 4barrel air cleaner.

what numbers does your quaddy start with 1705xxxx(red motor) or 1708xxxxx(blue motor)

While we are talking about carbs.

How do you know what number carb suits an engine. For my wannabe Monaro (HZ GTS) Resto I am doing the number thing. Yes sad I know. lol. But I want to start looking for the correct carb. Assuming the carb that was on it may not be the original. Its a 308. I can give eng number if that helps?
