It also has idle bleeds in the main body and the secondary metering plate is drilled for jets. That said if you don't have the tune up parts you will be spending a little more to tune the carb to perfection. I must be missing something. Cheers mates. Out. 1973 Charger, former SE, former auto I'm not trying to be difficult, it comes naturally....

I thought I'd jetted the 1850 down enough for the altitude (going from 66 to 59), but swapping on the 570 gave me an immediate 2 mpg and a much sharper-running engine. I don't understand why, but there must have been SOME improvements in fuel metering in the last 30 years! You can usually buy used 570s on the 'bay for around $100. R.
