ordered my jets yesterday. went with 135 main, 45 idle, and my current set up should still have the 100f1 tubes in it. hopefully it'll fire up with the current air correctors that are in it. I got it to fire up with the bridgeport jets in it now (dk the size, the jets were blank when i pulled them last night -_____- ) but under 1800 it would die.
Just to confirm, going off the diagram on pierce manifolds, the idle jet is located inside of the bowl, correct? the diagram makes it look like it unscrews from under the bowl, which is clearly incorrect.

Nice air filter tops!
I got a question. I have a 12A with RE webers. I was reading some forms and I read that if the oil meter lines coming off of the OMP are too short oil can pool within the carbs. Are you suppose to have the oil lines a certain length? I just hooked up the original lines directly to the carbs without any issue... But in the RE manual it says to hook up the lines to the lines provided. Can anyone measure those lines and also tell me why they have them in the first place? I have a spare set of lines here to use / cut to length.
But honestly I don't idle the car for very long for oil to pool within the carbs...
Thanks for any info on this issue I have!

We highly doubt that the length of the OMP lines have any contribution to oil pooling, but at the same time they should be kept short as possible.
Depending on the condition of your carb base and spacer gaskets, you may see oil weeping at these joints after a protracted period of run time.
This is simply because the metering tubes introduce the oil straight down the barrels above the throttle plates and may drip a bit after shutting down.
An an occasional dose of brake parts cleaner when the engine is cool can remedy this condition.
New metering lines may be fabricated from a variety of materials including similar plastic tubing to that of the original, copper/brass or even simply emissions hose. At the very small rate of fill, you may want to prime them with a small syringe or the like when installing.
