17057213 AWP with 2546
1705 = 1976 -1979
7 = year = 1977
2 = Quadrajet (4 bbl) Federal standards
1 = Chevrolet
3 = odd # = manual tranny
AWP = Production plant code (sorry I don't know which plant this is)
2546 = 254th day of 1976 build date

Where do you folks get your ID info? Is there a website or a book with it?

It's likely from a 1977 Chevy truck with a manual tranny. While it will probably run OK, you would be better off finding something a little more "performance" oriented. Kind of like putting running shoes on a mule. :eek:

Thanks for the decode and the link graemlins/thumbsup.gif Its for a stock 307 soon to be stock 350, so it should be ideal. I drive the car 75 miles a day, just want smooth running and good mileage, and a little kick when I need it ;)
