    OK, not to hi-jack, but where can I get jets for a 2 barrel ? I'm at 6000 feet (give or take).

    Thanks

    they are rather hard to come by
    Holley jets are not interchangable
    I you stay mostly at 6000 ft., I would just kick the timing up 2-4*; that should help a bunch

    I found 49's (it had 51's in it) at a local carb rebuild place - I put them in tonight. Idle mixture screws needed adjusting, then I took it for a 20 mile freeway run... I didn't notice a difference in performance, but my plugs showed it is running where it should be. Maybe now I'll get better than 10mpg ?
