the carter carb, they suck. get a weber. you'll thank me later.
no it had a computer controled quadajet
a 600 or 650 CFM. carb will work great on that engine.
If this truck does have a carter carb,chances are it shouldn't .I am a licensed mechanic and haven't personally ever heard of a 70's chev small block ever using a carter . Regardless, the filter should be somewhere inline ,due to the carter not having an internal filter .Like the rochester carbs.
Its a Carter Thermoquad. Essentially, its a 3 pc. 4 bbl Carter with the top plate/bottom plate made from metal like a reg. carb but the center section is made from Thermo plastic..thus the Thermoquad name.
That 87 truck already has a carburetor on it.

Instead of using the head of D13B2, use the head of D15B3 instead , which is the carbed version from the D15B2 so the head should fit perfectly on your D15B2 block, you should get the head of the D15B3 and the manifold and the carb, also note that it has a single carb, not dual.
ANY year that has a carburetor intake manifold available to install on the block/heads.
The oem is a Rochester Quadrajet, but you could also use a Holley, Carter or Edelbrock, among others. It would be best to pick a carb that you or someone you know and trust knows how to tune. In the alternative, buy a book on tuning the carb of your choice.
