Jet and rod recommendations for a 350

(1/2) > >>

BoxWagon:
Hey guys,

I'm currently rebuilding my qjet.  It is a later style carb (17085226), its not a feedback carb it just has the dual capacity accelerator shot. The carb is going on top of a stock '86 chevy 350 mated to a 200-4r.  Its stock except for the edelbrock intake.  It will be getting LT headers soon. 

Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion as a good starting point for a primary jet and rod combo? I'm not too worried about the secondaries yet, they are easy enough to change later. The carb is not original to the engine so I would like to see if jets and rods I have will work before put it all back together. I understand that it will need tweaking, but I just need a decent starting point.   

Cliff Ruggles:
What jets and metering rods are in it currently?.....Cliff

BoxWagon:
I haven't ran the carb on the car yet.  Its going to replace an old feedback carb. I couldn't tell you what is currently in the carb, I'm not home currently, will be in a week or so.  Since it never ran on the car it shouldn't matter what the carb has.  I'm going to check before I purchase to make sure I'm not buying what I have. 

BoxWagon:
Got it.  50M rods and 72 jets.  Secondaries are DP rods on a P hanger.

Any thoughts?

Shark Racer:
What are the air bleed sizes in that carb? I suspect it's going to be lean everywhere but I could well be wrong...
