now that I've finally got a secondary circuit that feels close to right on my 1608 with a 32/36 & single plane manifold, I'm curious what other folks have landed with in terms of jetting. I think when I originally installed this, besides smaller idle jets, I generally was running a modest variation on the nominal jetting (I'll pull the numbers from my note pad this evening & update this). After finally putting some real miles on the car, I got a better feel for what seems to need & decided to try mimicking the DHSA secondary circuit with a 155 main & 150 air corrector. This may still be less than ideal for this engine, but at various points along the way (albeit, in fits & spurts with long intervals of rest in between) I noticed there isn't a lot of notes online on what folks are ultimately running & pleased with on these carburetors. I don't expect the Internet to tune my car, but reading about tuning these on various applications I realized there are a lot of seemingly vastly different approaches, so I was curious what finds favor around here with twin cams of various sizes.
thanks in advance

Re: 32/36 DFEV jetting
I have notes at home for what I'm running in my 2.0L but not sure how close that might be for a 1.6. Some will probably be off a size or two I'm guessing.
I've hard the car off the road since last summer but I'm hoping to FINALLY get it running in a week or two. I moved my AFR gauge setup from my Jeep to the fiat so I can dial in the carb (running a Holley 5200) so I'll post where I end up assuming something else doesn't go wrong.

Re: 32/36 DFEV jetting
I am also curious to know what you have for the 2 liter. I have a 79 with the DFEV myself and the factory jetting is giving me some trouble.
