Hi guys im added this post here incase ive put original one in wrong section im looking for a bit of help on setting up my carb on the above car
It has fitted a twin choke manual choke dgv

the jets have been out previous and im not sure if they have been fitted in place ok

i have a service kit and power valve diaphragm on order ,

the jets in the car i have

Main jets 105 and 120
idle jets 45 and 45
Air correcting jets 160 and 190
emulsion tubes are F50 and F66

Would i be right and thinking the jets should be in this order

Main jet primary 105 secondary 120
air correcting jets primary 160 secondary 190
emulsion tubes primary F50 and Secondary F66

they were all in different places when stripped and not running too well

Used the same carb on my Pinto Indy. It was taken from a Pinto and whilst it got mine started it didn't seem to run that well. I took the finished car to a carb setup guy with a rolling road. I don't have records of what jet changes he made, but the car ran significantly better after his work. In essence my view is you can start with recommendations, but real world testing and setup makes the difference.

Where are you based?
