Now, I put in the 65f9's and got it down to about 4 1/2 turns...so I'm going to be ordering 70F9 and 75F9 just in case the 70's don't work.

Since we're on that topic, where does everyone get their stuff from? There's only one place I know of in town, and they are geared toward VW's, and the 65F9 was the largest idle jet they had. Websites I have are:
www.piercemanifolds.com
www.webercarbsdirect.com

Also, I was thinking about getting one of those synchrometers to get everything tuned precisely. Any suggestions/comments on those??

So you suggest that I bore the hole wider and save myself money??? I've never really tuned a carb so I think that tool may come in handy. I can tell when the engine doesn't like how I adjusted it but I'm not so confident in minor adjustments.

Well I was just in the garage doing the drilling to the jets, and tuning from the engine bay. After adjusting the idle jet screws a little, I hit the throttle from the engine bay to check it out...and the throttle cable got stuck behind the throttle stop screw for about 5 seconds pegged. 95% sure I just blew my engine.

SO A NEW QUESTION! Will this carb setup handle a half bridge 13b?!?! :D
