<VV> GM 1965 Manual Section 6 - carbs -

[J R Read]

Chas,

Or, you skipped past the instruction which would have put it all together 
for you?

I think you are wasting your time trying to do it off the car.

But since you have them off, you might want to take a look inside and see 
what size jets are there.  Unless you KNOW otherwise, don't assume that they 
are the same.

Later, JR
