I found a magazine with my exact engine combo dynoed. It lists the Holley jet sizes, however I have a Carter. How can I convert the sizes? Would a Holley jet be equal to a Carter jet minus the rod size? I know everyone hates the peanut carb, but I'm stuck with it until I finish school (at least). On a related note--does a lean mixture at part throttle cause bucking/surging? Thanks------------------

They do not compare at all. Totally different concept. What Jimmy carb do you have and what metering rods and jets do you have currently?  ------------------

I have a 625 cfm running stock jets and a slightly richer rod. I also put heavier secondary springs in because I have ~21" of vac at idle and more while cruising. I've just noticed that it surges at light/constant throttle and smells rich. I think it is running lean and the smell is from a lean misfire. Any opinions?

21" of vacuum? You are really in need of a cam...

My car (302) has a 600 holley vaccum secondary carb on it, and it also surges at part throttle crusing, plugs look good, checked float bowl levels twice, right on the money, but yet it surges at part throttle, but it runs good anytime i accelerate, with no hesatation. Also if I shut it off there is gas that runs out of the secondary shafts onto the intake, but as soon as I start it , the gas evaporates and it stays dry until I shut it off again. Any Ideas?

Oops, sorry I missed this one popping back up. 
Would you be willing to buy a Carter peanut striping kit? Part number 10-205 is about $50 and contains several rods and jets. If yo already have some then I would try some .098 rods to start with . ------------------

Hey Mr,Alex is there any way you can tell me how my OLD carter jets compare to the holley I'm now using. The carter was using
.101 pri jets
.098 sec,jets and a .098 rod. The holley is now using
#67 pri
and 134-39 sec plate that= a number 69 jet. Thanks SCOOP ------------------

.098 rods? 1st or 2nd step? I have strip kit 10-201. Won't a .098 rod almost close up a .100 jet? I'm confused.[This message has been edited by oldmustangjunkie (edited 10-22-2002).]
