Where are you going to drive that in Alaska? I was born there about 24 years ago. Left when I was 3. Gorgeous in the summer time, all 3 weeks!!! LOL The best way to jet that carb is to put it on, and see how it runs. I would reccomend the stock setting. Reading the plugs is a good way to see what the carb is doing. This is the only way I have had luck dialing in a carb. I am still tinkering with mine.

nagga, I was just wondering about your engine combination. It seems odd to me to see a single plane intake with a cam with those specs? I have a new edelbrock 750 carb on my 327 and it runs great. I need to step up from the stock jets though because i'm running a little too lean.
