Edelbrock jets go from .077 up in size.

I need/want to try smaller jet sizes.

Anyone know where to buy?

Can I solder or fill jets I have and then drill to size?

Thanks for any input. Steve

A thicker metering rod would work. That's how the system works.

I do allot of tuning on the dyno and I have never seen anything that needed to be that lean.Just saying

I know the old D.C. manual specified smaller size for one jet while using a cross ram. I soldered one up and drilled it. Then used a larger bit to create an entrance flare for the new hole. Whether it really made a difference I don't know.

Ok now that I know it is for a crossram them jets that need to be lean were calibrated with eguast manifolds . If you put in the smallest jet in that spot it still comes out dead on. I have dynoed with egts and did not have any rich cyl. Hope this helps. Or you can do what doug did and that works, but like I said I have had no issues.
