Well... I have a set of the .095" jets... I'm going to put them in tomorrow and play with my existing meterings rods (I have 3 sets). If I get time I will pick up another set for experimentation.
I laid all the metering rod and jet combos out in a spreadsheet, and after running a few formulas to determine the flow area (area of the jet's hole minus the area of the metering rod) I was able to sort them in a logical order.
Needless to say, after that, I have little respect for Edelbrock's calibration chart.
Honestly though... I think the one thing that would help more than anything would be an O2 sensor and a fuel/air meter. At least then I could actually see what was happening, and when and where in the RPM and vacuum ranges.
You're not confusing me... I've learned a lot about carbs in the last year or so, and I keep my nose in the manual and constantly read websites to try and get a little more insight into what's going on.
Basically, I still think it all comes back to a carb that's not calibrated for that engine, with that cam, with that kind of (low) vacuum. I just need to find that balance.
