I got the carb back together with the jets it came with. Just for kix, I looked up the carb on the Holly site, and the Holly index calls for 72 Primary’s and 75 secondary’s. I have 70 Primary’s and 73 secondary’s……. Sh#@, here we go again.

I did not relate the jet info to Holly yesterday because I just didn’t think of it. I tried to call them today but no response after holding for 28 minutes. I’ll try again tomorrow.
It’s possible, Roush jets the carbs before adding them to the engine and have worked out this alternate jetting spec beforehand. If so, the guy I pissed off at Roush did not mention it and I would have thought he would have since my questions revolved around jetting.

I’ll run it this way (#70/#73) for the weekend and see how it goes. I think I’ll put a couple of hundred miles on it then check the plugs again. If it seizes up or burns a hole in a piston I will have a clear cut answer to my question….”Is it too lean?” Tom

IF ANYONE HAS A COMMENT OR SUGGESTION I'M OPEN TO IT!
