    i have a 4160 750cfm vac secondary holley, i want to convert it to a metering block on the secondaries. my problem is where to start with the jets. what is the jet equivalent of the metering plate? i need to go up a few sizes.

    There's a two digit number stamped on the metering plate...usually upside down. Find that number and I can tell you a main jet equiv.

    I have a 750 VS Holley that I put a proform body on and used a metering block in place of the plate. I started with stock jetting for a simalar 750, 72 primary and 76 secondary. I ended up with 75 primary and 83 secondary with a long yellow secondary spring and 6.5 power valve. Im running a mild 468 BBC in a big heavy boat and the carb seems to be working great for what I need.

    well, the number is 4777S,looking at holleys website that looks like a 650cfm. i think i will give it a try though, cause it has bigger jets in it and id like to see what a mechanical secondary carb does.
