It appears I may have a proper factory carb judging my the numbers on the carb's body (17084226, 2073 HCD), but I'm unable to identify which carb kit I would need to rebuild. The several sites I've been too list M4M and other M4 variations but not HCD. Is there anything about the HCD that makes it unique I need to worry about, regarding parts availability?

Normally I wouldn't ask such a question but it also has a sticker from a rebuilder stating it was rebuilt in 2017.

What he said^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

U can always reach out for questions:
Back in the day, we looked up Hygrade or Delco carb kits by the body number (in this case, 1708----). Many times, kits would fit multiple carb #s. So there may be parts in the kit that your specific carb might not use.

I have an all original '84 C10 with the 305 (LE9) engine and the carb number is the same as yours.
