any of you have a Yaw carb?

I bought a super street carb from Paul Yaw, and he supplied the car with extra fuel jets to change the touqe curve, but I lost them.I havent installed the carb yet and I was wondering if it was worth ordering more, and if any of you have delt w/ them. thanks

Holley 10-32 air jets fit perfectly as fuel jets.
It's what we use, and I suspect Yaw, too.
I believe his air jets are 8-32. (Ours are countersunk 10-32s for your convenience, of course. )

I sent him an email telling him I was building carbs because he seemed to have left the first gen crowd behind. In a return email on 6-18-03 he wrote me, " In the past, we did about 150 to 175 carburetors a year. Over the last 2 years, we have done 98 and 102, so you can see the numbers have dropped quite a bit. What I have done in the last 2 years is take on way too much work. More than I could handle by far.

That's not an excuse, just an explanation of what's been going on for 2 years....

...Just don't do what I did and take on ridiculously complex engine projects in addition to the carbs. It's very hard to tell a guy who's spending 20K on a motor that he will have to miss the race because you have to build a few carburetors."
