Edelbrock Primary rods, BEWARE
I ordered a set of primary metering rods from Edelbrock for a Quadrajet Im rebuilding
I wanted 0.42 rods so I ordered part #1942 which I thought would be a .042 rod....turns out that they are .041
This has to be the MOST SCREWED UP NUMBERING SYSTEM I have ever seen.... take a look..... Which is what I SHOULD HAVE DONE before I ordered them...on the bright side, their main Jet numbers do coincide with the actual size.
I now realize they dont produce a .042 primary rod but I cant believe the way the number their rods
