I recently built a B block using the factory inline 2x4 manifold. It will end up in a Christine clone, so it's actually a '350', but the intake manifold is the same. Had two Edelbrock AVS 500 cfm carbs on it, and took it to dyno. The A/F's were uneven from side to side, the carbs had the stock jetting. Just thought if the factory jetting/needles were biased someway like in a 426 Hemi, anyone happen to have information about the facory jetting?

Yes, there may be, but I would assume the intake might want similar style jetting variation, and would like to know what the stock jetting was to decide weather there is any sence in trying. It can be driven as is, but it's far from being perfect.

I remembered so as well, but I looked at mine, and there isn't any with the factory intake, only Super Stock .

What are the original carbs you are trying to mimic? From the Carter book for the 1959-62 V8 they list the 2798 Frt and 2799 Rear for the 59 383 and 413.
Primary both are .089. The front Sec are .067 and the rear sec .055
These were 1 7/16 P and 1 9/16 S throats Idle jet .031 on both. Idle vacuum 19.5" the carb numbers i have are 2970 and 2971, but jetting appears to be the same as the 2798/2799. those small throttle bores would have small venturii (especially the secondaries compared to the edelbrocks) and the listed metering rods and small jets would be near impossible to find.

Just thought if the factory jetting/needles were biased someway like in a 426 Hemi, anyone happen to have information about the facory jetting? You have a baseline now, just work with what you have. Trying to compare OE against aftermarket, race against stock, why waste you time.

Ok, since there doesn't seem to be much staggering with the original carbs, I think I'll leave it like it is. I was pretty amazed of how well it worked, the short block is a 4.25" stroke 400 with homeported old, factory looking source heads, comp cams 275 degree hydraulic flat tappet and stock valvetrain. The valvecovers are temprary.
