Anyone know where to get a few parts for my 1976 vette engine code x
Looking for primary choke pull off for rochester quadrajet 4 barrell Carb # 17056226
Also looking for the EGR thermal vaccum switch white top
Already have the Carb Kit but could use these other 2 parts
or if anyone knows part # for these parts would also be helpful striking out at local part stores
can only find engine code L parts

Take those parts numbers to a Chevy dealer's parts department. They're likely obsolete and unavailable. What the parts guy can do if he wants to be helpful is use their national database all Chevy dealers are connected to and see if any dealers elsewhere in the country might have any of those parts on a shelf gathering dust.
You can contact those dealers that have the parts...they may well be willing to sell you the parts cheap just to get such dead items out of inventory. I've done that...it doesn't always work but sometimes it does.

ANY GM dealer can cross-reference any GM part number these days. I can get Cadillac parts from the Chevy dealer, if I want. Finding a parts person at the dealership that's willing to LOOK is the problem.

Very true Joel.
Similar scenario pertaining to a parts search...
Fortunately I have a good parts parts guy at the local Chevy dealership.
A few weeks ago I was looking for a original hood release cable with the tee handle and bracket for the '81. P/N 14030127. Fits only '80-'82's.
The guy tells me the number is no good, then says it's discontinued. So I asked if he could do a dealer network search. Bingo! There was one on a shelf and at McFarland Chevy in Kentucky. So I now have that original cable assembly vintage 1981 with about 2 inches of dust on the box awaiting installation. 
So see if your parts guy can do a search of all the GM dealers in the U.S for you. You never know what could turn up.

Here is a Quadrajet carb decoder for everyone, that I found in my search for the carb parts I was looking for !!
Rochester Number decoding
Example: # 7028219 | |
| These numbers can be found on the side of the carb main body next to the throttle lever , 1965 to early 1968 was a round disc 1968 and later ones where stamped into the body on quadrajets | |
| |
7028219 | Prefix code. "70" will appear on all late '60's Rochester Carburetors. 76 and later will start with "170" 2 - Decade produced. 702 - 1960's 703 - 1060's with A.I.R. 704 - 1970-1975 1705 - 1976-1979 1708 - 1980's |
7028219 | Year produced. 8 = 1968 If the number was 7045219 then 5 = 1975 |
| 7028219 | Model 0 - Monojet (1 bbl) Federal standards 1 - Two jet (2 bbl) Federal standards 2 - Quadrajet (4 bbl) Federal standards 3 - Monojet (1 bbl) California standards 4 - Two jet (2 bbl) California standards 5 - Quadrajet (4 bbl) California standards 6 - VariJet (2 bbl) Fed |
| 7028219 | - Division. 0, 1, and 2 all indicate Chevrolet. 4 - Buick 5 - Olds 6,7 - Pontiac |
| 7028219 | - Transmission most cases Even numbers - Automatic Transmission Odd numbers - Manual Transmission |
| DG | Production Code. |
| 1938 | Rochester produced carburetor Date Code 193 = 193 rd Day of the year |
| 1938 | 8 = Year 1968 |
| Other | |
| A8 o MM | Carter Produced carburetor Date Codes A= Jan B= Feb C= March etc.... |
| A8 o MM | 8 = year 1968 |
| MM | Production Code. |
