QuadraJet - Which secondary metering rod to use?
I'm considering changing the secondary metering rods on my rebuilt '72 Chevy #7042210 QuadraJet on my 400ci to see if it improves my ETs. I haven't taken the carb apart yet to measure the thickness of the current rod tips, but I see Summit offers the following secondary metering rods:
EDL-1951: 0.0410" Letter code CE for identification EDL-1954: 0.0667" Letter code CL for identification JET-201010: No size given. Fits stamp DA Not sure what the letter codes stand for? Any ideas? Am I correct in assuming that the larger the diameter rod, the less fuel is delivered? So, if I find that I have a larger diameter rod installed, I should go down in size (like the rod that is 0.0410?) for more fuel when the secondaries are at WOT? Thanks! Jim.
