Non CCC Q-Jet Jest and metering rods

WHere can I get leaner primary jets and primary metering rods. The carb is still too rich after the minor tuning.

The carb is listed for a 1979 Chevy Van with 350,
part #Champion Reman 3620 from Parts America.

You have to pull the air horn off and read what's on them.

Change both jets & rods. Just changing jets will result in too lean.
