I have a 7029200 Rochester Q-Jet on mine. And that is for 1969 - 396 and 427 with automatic trans. 7029201 is for manual trans.

I double checked my casting # reference book, and that 7029200 as stated by Ircyklops is the one you should have.

The one I have is put out by Cars & Parts Magazine, "Catalog of Chevy V-8 Engine Casting Numbers 1955-93 (published in 1994). And according to them they are "The Voice of the Collector Car Hobby Since 1957", so who am I to argue? Your carb is the only one referenced for the 396, 325 h.p. auto. So, tell that other guy to shut his pie-hole!

I just ran across this OEM application catalog on-line. It seems to agree with your debate partner...other references seem tocontradict each other

These sources mistakenly list the 7029204 carb as a 325/350 h.p. application. The 7029204 is for the 350 h.p. and the 7029200 is for the 325 h.p. as stated earlier. Here's yet another source to support the fact:
http://www.chevy-camaro.com/parts/ch...codes-carb.htm
Just goes to show that sometimes the more someone looks for facts, the more likely it is to find errors and omissions as well.
