I have 3 Carter Quadrajet carbs.
17058204 1978 Chevrolet automatic transmission Carburetors

I don't know how to decipher the rest of the codes on the carbs.

1. code 618 BHT (this is the original one on my '78 Vette)

2. code 2437 BHT

3. 3077 BHT

Does anyone know how to figure out the remaining 3 codes?

Chevy, go to the Corvette Forum they have been discussing this very topic and I think you will find your answers there.

I'd also recommend an email or phone call to the Carburetor Shop. They list info for carbs prior to 1974, but the "Mod Quad" from 75-on are similar enough. They also show that the Carter-built Quads are numbered the same as the Rochesters. The Carburetor Shop folks may be able to help with deciphering the other codes you're interested in. Good luck!
