Sec metering plate to (can't remember) plate... need info

Talk about "brain fart"... I am 99% sure I have a metering plate in my secondary bowl now. I have heard of people changing it to a (whatever) plate like what I have in the primary side with the jets. Can this be done and is it worth it?

Info- It is a Holley 750 dual bowl carb (don't remember which #, but it is shiny zinc coated... like 805045S or something) with vacuum secondaries. I run 68 jets in the primaries now, but may go to 66 because I am slightly rich on the A/F gauge and plugs.

Holley makes a conversion kit. It would allow you to adjust the jet size on the secondaries. More adjustability is usually better.

It is worth it, go for it. LIke stated above a metering block allows you better adjustments.
