<VV> Leaning Out the Midrange

I've installed Ray Sedman's F/A O2 sensor readout system on my 67 110 coupe.
Readings obtained indicate the F/A mixture is consistently rich
(11-to-12-to-1) in the cruising range. I've gone as lean as I dare with the main jets
(.049s), but jetting does not appear to significantly affect midrange mixture.
The purpose of my work is to improve fuel economy (and yes, all is
well--mechanically--with the engine). My next step is to purchase a broadband F/A
diagnostics device (likely with additional RPM input) and begin experimenting with
the internal working of the carbs in an effort to lean out the midrange.
QUESTION: has anyone out there already ventured down this path? What area in the
stock carbs is the most likely place to start in working on the midrange F/A
mixture?
Thanks in advance for any information provided.
