I mean the Holly needs jet changing much less. It accommodates a wider range
of densities before needing a change compared to a Stomberg.

Then what is with all the jets for changing things?? You mean to tell me
that a
Holley or carter carb will need no jet correction to run at 4000 ft and 110
degrees instead of sea level and 60 degrees.. Sure wish i had one of those !
