Used them on my race cars for a long time, excellent thing to have if you make alot of jet changes. Cuts the time and aggravation of having to remove the bowls in half.

Shoot, eliminate fuel draining completely http://store.summitracing.com/partde...HLY%2D55001HOL .

No more often than I rejet, I'll pop the bowl. However, if someone gave me the kits...

I owned one of the Adjust-A-Jet kits when they were known as Percy's. Not worthwhile IMHO. Biggest problem was you never knew what your baseline was. With jets is you need to jet up a tad, say from #72's to #74's it is dead easy. With the needle valve type, you never really knew what you were getting. Should I go up one notch...or two? You really had to test to find out. Then there was the problem of remembering where you had the stoopid thing set. Gasket quality was also very poor, and they did require special gaskets

I finally gave it up and got my Weber Powerplate
