Carter WCFB Jets
I have a 2 x 4 set up that is for a 270HP. I would like to jet it down to a 245HP. I am not using a solid cam.
Where can I purchase/swap my jets?
Thanks.

Re: Carter WCFB Jets (plaidside)
My answer is don't (unless you're going for NCRS performance verification.) I have a "270hp" 2x4 setup in my '58. Someone actually drilled the jets larger. This makes tuning the carbs a bit more exciting. I'm running a bigger hydraulic lifter cam from comp cams. I'm actually going to put a smaller cam in, but it won't be solid lifter. The trick was to tune the idle down from where it would be set at the factory to get around the larger jets.
But, if you want to swap jets, any local speed shop may be able to help you out. If not, a call to ZipCorvette or Corvette Central may be in order.
