There are nylon washers for the float bowl that are re-usable, as well as
re-inforced buna-n rubber gastkets that are re-usable for jet changes. There
are also plates that allow jet changes without removing the float bowl. All in
Summitt Catalog. Rear plates on double pumpers are a problem, though, becasue
you cant get to the screws or jet changer (without some more firewall holes)

I wonder how you get to the rear jets?

Now that sounds like a swell solution, along with the dash adjustable timing
ignition. I am using an Edelbrock Fuel-Air ratio meter that tells you the ratio
instantaeneously under any load or throttle positon. Neet tool, but my car b
reads right on in every condition, so I can't "play" with it.
