I'll get the ball rolling for you.I'd try the .040 or the .050 primary rod along with the 0.73 or 0.75 jet,you can go with the bigger ones if your car tends to run lean with the headers.I'd also go with the PURPLE power spring.Most guys use the DR secondary rods with a alphabetically low hanger letter(i use an "e"hanger).I'll assume you know how to tear one of these carbs apart if you've bought the kit. Don't be afraid to experiment alittle,especially with the secondaries.

fulo, you've got mail.

In additon, I'd recommend you getting a good q-jet book (even if you did have instructions for the kit). Doug Roe's book "Rochester Carburetors" is a good one. Got mine from amazon.com.
