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.
