Hey Polkadot, I dig into the carb set I have and check the jets. Pretty sure I have them. I want to keep the carb bodys until I have a chance to look at my Crispy Wing that burned up. I'm hoping the only real damage is that the plastic in the carb top is melted. I that case I'll use the tops from my spare carb rack.

Sorry.
What part of no big deal confuses you????? Like I told you then we are okay and it's just a truck. I'll call you later to update work on the Chevy tomorrow.

Thanks. Let me know. ern
Hope for the best, expect the worst and take what comes!
I have 4 complete sets of jets with the exception of the slow air jets. I can mail them to you just PM me with your address and I'll drop them in the mail. I also have a 5 hole needle jet that I think you need and I have some extra pucks if you need them as well. No cost for anything, just glad to be albe to help.
