Stock Primaries?
How's everyone doing? Been a long time since I have posted a question on this forum.
I have a qjets that require the double taper primaries and a few years ago I bent the ones that came with it and just shoved a pair of single taper rods into the car I found, which worked for a long time. However, I finally want to find the correct rods for my car and get it running right. My question is should I go back to the stock primaries (carb #17059230) or should I get a pair that are slightly richer. I have a 305 with a Crane Cam with a 260/272 advertised duration with headers and a three inch exhaust. Any advise would be great. Thanx.

No reason to go richer if it was running fine as it was.
