Okay, gang, what is the collective wisdom on the correct jets to use in
my carburetors? Here are the particulars:
Vehicle: 1963 Rampside, 4-speed, 3.89:1 rear, stock-size tires.
Engine: 164-cid 95-hp rebuild on universal block. Cylinder heads are
3878569. Stock cam, stock 310 distributor.
Fuel: Pump premium.
Use: Occasional "driver," more use than a show car but less use than a
modern car. Driven on all types of roads, local, secondary, highway.
About half the time actually carrying some sort of cargo. I drive like
an old man on local and secondary roads, but on the Interstates I haul
a** so as to not be a moving chicane.
At the moment, the truck is running with the original worn-out 1963
carbs. But I have a nice pair of 1966 carb cores to rebuild. I have an
idea of what jet size I might use, but I am curious as to what others
might select.
