Howdy,
Fitting up a S&S B to the old girl and am after suggestions for jet sizes.
74" all stock apart from pipes,
Points,
Kick only,
A little down on compression,
Superbowl accelerator pump,
Custom pipes as per attached photo. No real baffles, each pipe has about 4" of Swiss cheese / perforated steel running parallel with the outer pipe at the tips.
Thanks in advance,
Shoveltrouble.

Well, the instructions from the S&S super B call for the idle mixture screw 1 1/4-1 3/4 turns out from closed, ntermediate jet .028-.029-.031-.033 and the main jet 66-68-70-72. I have a 80 in. and run .031 intermediate and 72 main. Those jets came installed new,I expermented with a smaller intermediate,ran like "Potty mouth",put the 031 back in,the main, tried a 68 not enough gas,a 76 too much gas,went back to the 72.

What is your elevation?

From sea level to 5,000 I'd start with .295 and .074
