The great thing about the web is just about any question asked an answere can be found. I looked at several search results and it comes back as a 305cid from about the 1976 era.
Code-- Year-- CID-- Vehicle---- HP-- RPO-- Trans-- Carb
CPB---- 76--- 305-- Nova----- 140-- LG3-- TH350-- 2-Brl
CPB---- 76--- 305-- Chevelle-- 140- LG3--- TH350-- 2-Brl
CPB---- 76--- 305-- Camaro-- 140-- LG3--- TH350-- 2-Brl
I'm sure a code book would detail more about the CPB designation. Probably a plant code. Good luck!
